Yoko

Yoko, a light and elegant seating design; a Japanese name and Scandinavian lines that come together in a piece of furniture with an aesthetic matrix, flavoured by both cultures. A contrast in constant equilibrium thanks to the skilful craftsmanship of the Japanese-Danish couple Inoda+Sveje. The continuous cross-reference between the two cultures, their styles and manufacturing skills shapes a project composed of an armchair, a dining armchair and an ottoman bench characterised by a dual lightness: physical and aesthetic. Delicate and sinuous lines, created with precious cabinet-making interlocking techniques that enrich the structure of legs and armrests in solid ash open pore wood lacquered with a Liquorice colour, or
in solid Canaletto walnut stained Light Brown, a chromatic choice that lends a more decisive tone to the elegance of the silhouette.
The wooden frame has a joint where the leg meets the armrest, both at the front and at the back: a structural joint that becomes decorative thanks to the clever use of the wooden material. In this project, the great expertise in woodworking that has always been characteristic of Nordic and Japanese craftsmanship meets the historical know-how of a Made in Italy company that has been an expert in exquisite upholstered furniture for decades. Yoko is the harmonious union of technology, elegance and comfort.

Yoko is the harmonious union of poetry and materiality: a seating design launched in 2022 and signed by the Japanese-Danish duo Inoda+Sveje, made over with new finishes to meet the needs of today’s ever-evolving tastes. Delicate and sinuous lines, created with precious cabinet-making interlocking techniques that enhance the structure of the legs and armrests in solid ash open pore wood with a Licorice-coloured lacquer, or in solid Canaletto walnut stained Light Brown. These finishes are joined by matt lacquered solid beech in the shades of Chestnut, Moss, Sand, Mud and matt bleached ash: new colour proposals for the 2024 Collection which give an even stronger touch to the sophisticated silhouette of the Yoko dining little armchair, so that they blend harmoniously with the style of any environment.
