RIN™

Hiromichi Konno 2008

RIN™ is a multifunctional chair created by the Japanese designer Hiromichi Konno. It is designed to be in perfect harmony with Japanese and Danish design traditions. The original idea for the RIN chair came from Konno’s fascination with nature and the curiosity surrounding the form of a bird’s nest. He was spurred on by the immediate paradox of how something so practical and functional could be so beautiful. He also compares the appearance to another of one nature’s wonders: a single standing flower and the confidence and beauty it exuberates. RIN can be paired with a wide range of tables depending on your needs. The chair is available in six colours with or without upholstery in a wide range of fabrics and leather. The star shaped base, in two heights, is made in polished or powder coated aluminium to match the shell.
