Bunna Chair, designed by Naoto Fukasawa, is an extraordinary new chair. Bunna is at the same time avantgarde and primeval, strong and soft, rebellious and reliable. It is named Bunna after a river that starts its journey from the most magnificent spring in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where emerald waters calmly flow from a deep cave at the bottom of a cliff, soon to turn into wild rapids as the river continues its journey towards the nearby Adriatic Sea. The name Bunna in Bosnian also means rebellion, which aptly describes the character of the chair with boldly sculpted, singular back and armrests. The seat of the chair is hand-carved in a way ancient chair seats were sculpted out in tree logs. The carved texture on the seat renders it pleasantly soft and tactile while the bowl-like seat shape and long backrest provide ample comfort. While Bunna is very different from any chair Naoto Fukasawa designed, his handwriting is clearly visible in its design. Bunna will be offered in a choice of different woods and finishes including maple, walnut and oak.
