NB: just inquired about its cost though: I am being told it is available for €9,500+shipping. 10 pieces a year only, handmade in Japan. Those who will get one (a bunch?) of these are lucky! Gorgeous.

The proportions look like a metal chair anyway. Yet the joints recall structural joints in wood. Seems intellectually inconsistent to me.

It reminds me of the Leggera chair by Gio Ponti because of its light weight (totally pushed to the limit here by the Nendo design studio) + it follows the Scandinavian furniture design essential craftsmanship with visible connections between each element part of the chair. That's and A+ without hesitation! Completely in love with it.
