Blest Chair

With “Blest” the starting point was a chair construction the designers Anderssen & Voll considered to be very Japanese: a sturdy seat that holds the main constructive strength and with the seat and back as additions. Ariake transformed this into a milled solid wood back attached to the seat by a finger joint. “Blkest” is a Norwegian word for wind – we think of the characteristic back piece a sail or a banner waving in the wind.
