TACK LUX Living

Noboru Nakamura, a designer based in Hokkaido created this personal chair in 1978, and it was reborn through brushing up the detail of the design. Tack means “Thank you” in Swedish. This is the real Hokkaido chair: designed by a Hokkaido designer; made of Hokkaido ash; of which thick leather is supplied by a Hokkaido saddle maker. The structure is resistant to aging because the joints of the frame are designed to be tightened by the weight.
