This office chair is focused on the original main concept of "a mechanism that naturally leads to the correct seating posture," but also responds to changes in the working environment. In today's coworking offices and home offices involving work remotely, chairs that are excellent in performance and comfort while also creating a relaxing space are required. Bringing an existing office chair into the home can create an unnatural atmosphere in the interior, but this product has excellent design power, a light impression, and a selection of colors that make it easy to blend into the space. By incorporating elements of not only WORK-Style but also "living" into the office space, it provides the driving force for workers to comfortably pursue a wide variety of working styles.

The Wan (One Chair) is a shell-shaped nesting chair (foldable chair) that has established a new style while maintaining functionality and efficiency in the office as work styles become more diverse and casual. Conventional nesting chairs are often designed with the premise of structural beauty and storage efficiency when folded, but this product's feature is a mechanism that allows the shell to be flipped up as it is. Although it takes up space, the unprecedented reversal of the idea itself is wonderful, and the gentle and charming form when nested creates a unique atmosphere. Magnets are built into the hinges, which allows the mechanism to work smoothly and invites movement. Such ingenuity is smartly designed down to the last detail, making working a fun way of life.

The product has been put together as an attractive product due to its movement, weight balance, and casual color. It is hoped that by introducing these types of chairs into offices, we will be able to experience changes in the way we work and the workplace environment in the future.
