naoto fukasawa bonds sky and earth with ‘ten’ armchair and ‘ci’ table for driade

naoto fukasawa combines natural stone with rich wood to realize his ‘ten’ armchair and ‘ci’ table for driade.

‘ten’ (‘sky’ in japanese) is an ample seating design with a moderately reclined back that is upholstered in either removable fabric, or a fixed leather cover. ‘ci (‘earth’ in japanese) on the other hand is a low sitting table that features a rounded calacatta carrara marble top. both are supported by either ebonized european ash or natural mahogany legs, adding a certain warmth to the collection. together, ‘ten’ and ‘ci’ form a lounge area that harmoniously blends into any interior space—from the classical to the metropolitan.

‘after calling the small armchair ‘ten’ (sky in japanese), I thought it might be natural to name the small table ‘ci’, which designates the surface of the earth. the bond between ‘ten’ and ‘ci’, sky and earth, was instinctive.’ – naoto fukasawa

‘ten’ and ‘ci’ by naoto fukasawa for driade were presented at salone del mobile 2016.
