Katō | Boss Design | 2023
Inspired by Japanese joinery, Katō was designed as a contemporary nod toward exposed detailing and tactile qualities of timber. Subtly and craft were at the heart of the brief for the collection, as though carefully shaving the timber from a block, to create an elegant, yet practical form. The timber frame holds the upholstery, with sprung suspension to provide a domestic-led level of comfort, in a slim profile. Showcasing a pull stitch detail to the back upholstery, this line subtly provides an echo of the line created by the surrounding horseshoe arm.
