Entry Description

TATIISU, which literally means “standing chair” in Japanese, is a new type of chair without a seat surface. It revolutionizes the concept of "sitting"; TATIISU is a chair which enables leaning, rather than sitting. Having an extremely simple wooden and metal structure, TATIISU allows you to support your own body weight by standing on the base plate where the backrest and vertical supports are connected. Resting in this position is much healthier and better for the posture than either sitting or reclining.

Bio

Studied graphics at a design school in Nagoya and worked in the graphics field, while also practicing and working with sports instructors, caregivers, furniture shops, etc., and learning about the structure of the human body and structural mechanics in order to research the idea of tatiitsu.
