Ariake’s Braid lounge chair was named after the braided paper cords adorning the chair’s armrests. The Braid lounge chairs were inspired by bamboo constructions and tatami mats, classic elements in Japanese architecture. Braid’s clean-lined appearance also features references to Danish design tradition. Due to the subtle decorations on the chair’s armrests and back, Braid is an ideal piece of furniture to divide a room.
