Mass

Mass is a light weight seating family that has a distinctive structural expression with a fine diagonal line through square frame. Chairs are constructed with European oak and/or cherry at our workshop and seat and back finished with natural linen webbing.

In Japan, we have a code character 〼 to read “masu”, originating from the old measurement tool for rice and other produces, a wooden box with diagonal divide in the middle which looks like this character. It has a sweet crossover of definitions between English word mass and Japanese word masu.
