Although the Knot Chair features a minimalist design, the beauty of it is all in its deceptively intricate details. Composed out of solid beech wood, plywood and paper-code, it is held together by a knotting technique to give it a unique finish.
Designed by Tatsuo Kuroda, the Knot chair boasts four separate pieces that are bound together with paper-code that has been knitted together for a visually interesting boost to the entire piece of furniture.
