Lounge chair and footstool designed by Yuzuru Yamakawa, ca90

Yuzuru Yamakawa, a master of rattan, devoted his life to exploring the beauty and versatility of this natural material. His passion for rattan, deeply rooted in decades of craftsmanship, is evident in every curve and weave of his designs.

Sika-Design’s armchair, created by Yamakawa in 1996, is not just a piece of furniture but a harmonious blend of art and function. This ergonomic lounge chair, with its delicate bamboo frame and intricately handwoven rattan surfaces, captures the essence of multiple worlds. It draws inspiration from the simplicity of Danish design, the serene minimalism of Japanese aesthetics, and the rich tradition of Indonesian rattan craftsmanship. The lounge chair is a modern marvel—light in form yet substantial in presence.

Part of Sika-Design’s Icons collection, the lounge chair stands as a testament to the enduring allure of rattan, celebrated through the vision of some of the most gifted designers of our time.

Yuzuru Yamakawa (1933–2012), a visionary Japanese designer, found his true voice in rattan.
