HAIKU II LEATHER
Vegan leather and ash chair with armrests
HAIKU II leather is a more elaborate form, providing additional support and comfort. Upholstered vegetable-tanned leather straps complement the carefully balanced ash construction, creating a model with a timeless character and elegance that fits into a variety of interiors.
The Haiku collection is a project inspired by the Japanese art of creating short poetic forms – haiku – which in a few lines can capture the fleetingness of a moment, emotion and the rhythm of nature. Like poetry, this line of furniture was designed with simplicity, balance and focus on what is most important in mind. The ideological context for this collection is also the classic haiku by Mizuta Masahide, a poet from the Edo period:
„Barn’s burnt down. Now I can see the moon”
Mizuta Masahide (1657–1723)
This simple, yet profound poem becomes a metaphor for looking deep within oneself, for seeing beauty despite losses – an idea that is also close to the assumptions of this collection.
CarlesiTonelli designers, drawing on the idea of pure, balanced forms, created a collection that does not flaunt its form, but subtly affects the senses and emotions. This is a proposal for spaces that are to inspire reflection and communion with objects designed with duration, harmony and tranquility in mind.
