We love the entire Hiroshima collection designed by Naoto Fukasawa for Maruni. Here's a taste:

"Designing a wooden chair is not easy. I believe that it is not just about the shape of the chair; it’s something that is realized with a high degree of craftsmanship and a great deal of experience with respect to structural ingenuity, where the quality of the wood is assessed and the robustness of the structure is balanced with lightness in terms of its weight, while further ensuring that it is comfortable to sit on."
