RIN™

By Hiromichi Konno

There is a big difference between looking at a chair and sitting in it. I have tried to create a chair that offers more than mere comfort.

A pleasant feeling that hopefully remains.

The Japanese word RIN means an appearance that is stunning, elegant and courageous. It also means a single flower - in a way, the chair looks like a flower standing still. I thought this relates to the image of RIN chair.

My first idea was to make a beautiful chair that stimulates and awakens emotions. Therefore, I have established something poetical, simple, strong, relaxed and innovative all at the same time. The goal from the beginning was to create the perfect chair.

My chair should radiate a sophisticated, simple beauty that people will experience when sitting in the chair - a chair is not just a form.

The Japanese designer, Hiromichi Konno has created the RIN™ chair for Fritz Hansen; an elegant and futuristic design. The idea is to create a new type of chair that is in harmony with Japanese and Danish design traditions. The chair is elegant with a very innovative and progressive design. It invites you to sit in it for hours taking the traditional chair design into a new direction.

Hiromichi Konno is a Japanese designer with an international touch. He has studied both in Japan and Sweden and also lived in London for many years. His style is very unique and there is a special energy and something almost teasing about his designs.

He now works for large companies and manufacturers around the world, and he is particularly in demand in Scandinavia.
