Torii is a simple yet subtly sophisticated wood chair, defined by its closely spaced back legs, broad seat, and small arched backrest. Its minimal appearance and simple construction hide a surprising amount of comfort and sturdiness, making it suitable for residential and commercial use. Torii is the Japanese name for the characteristic wood entrance arches to Shinto shrines in Japan, and translates directly into English as “bird perch”. This motif perfectly describes the chairs distinct proportions and traditional joinery, and the sense of harmony and calm inherent in design that is beautifully resolved. Designed in Canada, the Torii Chair is made in Italy to the highest standards of fine Italian craftsmanship. The Torii Chair is part of our Quick Ship program, and is stocked in the US with a black leather seat. For availability or other fabric + leather options please contact modernlink. The Torii chair is ANSI-BIFMA certified for contract use. Torii Ash and Oak frames are FSC Certified.
