Sori chair – Ariake – Les Vrais

The whole design of the Sori chair is inspired by Japanese furnitures, as a the sleek bridge connects the front and back legs making it suitable for tatami floors.

This a proof of a well-thought piece adaptable to every kind of indoor space, with or without carpet.

Oak is the material of choice for the chair to evoke the strength of the tree, even if the furniture is crafted to the finest proportions for the legs.

This gives an impression of lightness and sculptural quality.

As its name suggests, the chair is shaped like a sledge. Indeed, in Japanese, Sori means sledge.
