Noki chair draws from both architectural and natural elements in Japan. The shape of the backrest, with a distinctive lip on the top, is reminiscent of the eaves under the roof of rural Japanese houses, a feature known locally as “noki”. The designer Yokozeki wanted the upholstery on the seat and back to resemble snow settled on a bench, or indeed the eaves of the houses in his native Gifu prefecture. These ideas and memories gave life to the form of the chair, while adherence to the strict and precise rules of proportions ensured the correct balance to produce a deceptively minimal, yet beguiling chair.

Fabrics can have slight variations in colour from dye lot to dye lot. Even though the same dyes are used every time, noticeable colour variations can occur. Temperature, time, and water source all contribute to slight variations between dye lots. The difference can be subtle to very visible. Industry standards allow up to a 6% difference in a colour variation, and variations within this limit are not considered to be a defect.
Leather is a natural product derived from animal hides, meaning each hide is unique. Variations in texture of the leather are not considered a fault, and are inherent to the natural beauty and uniqueness of the leather. As every piece of leather is different, the colour may vary slightly during the tanning process, leading to some inconsistencies in hue and depth. Leather features natural marking such as dents, scars, scratches, wrinkles or blemishes. These characteristics are inherent in natural leather, and are not considered a defect.
