101 Copenhagen Atsu Chair Designed by Kristian Sofus Hansen & Tommy Hyldahl

The Atsu Chair, a dining chair by 101 Copenhagen, is a masterpiece designed by Kristian Sofus Hansen & Tommy Hyldahl. This chair is a compelling blend of minimalism and tradition, drawing inspiration from classic Chinese seating designs.

Handcrafted from FSC-certified American red oak, the Atsu Chair embodies artisanal craftsmanship with its seamless joinery and meticulous construction. The chair's asymmetrical structure sets it apart, featuring sturdy oak planks that form a single front leg and a central backrest. This sculptural design choice challenges conventional perspectives, inviting observers to engage with the chair from various angles, much like appreciating a piece of art.

Despite its substantial appearance, the Atsu Chair maintains a refined and minimalist aesthetic. The name "Atsu," meaning "heavy" or "strong" in Japanese, appropriately reflects its visual weight and balance, creating a harmonious blend of robustness and elegance. This chair is not only a functional piece of furniture but also a statement piece in any dining room, inspiring dynamism and interaction with its unique character.
