Tendo Woodworking Chair – Japanese Craftsmanship, Timeless Beauty
Some furniture is designed to last for years. Tendo Mokko furniture is designed to last for generations. Made in Japan with world-renowned formed plywood techniques, the S-5046MP-NT Chair combines graceful strength, lightness, and beauty in a way that feels both modern and timeless.
A Legacy of Innovation
Founded in 1940 in Tendo City, Yamagata Prefecture, Tendo Woodworking was one of the first in Japan to master molded plywood—an innovation that changed furniture design forever. Their work has drawn admiration from top designers like Sori Yanagi and Kenzo Tange, and today, pieces by Tendo Mokko are held in collections such as the Philadelphia Museum of Art, proof of their lasting cultural value.
Graceful Strength and Lightness
Unlike solid wood that can crack or split, Tendo’s formed plywood is engineered for both flexibility and durability. The result is furniture strong enough for everyday use yet light enough to move with ease—perfect for modern living. At just 3.7 lbs (1.7 kg), the S-5046MP-NT Chair offers comfort without heaviness.
Beauty You Can Feel
Every Tendo piece is polished and finished with artisanal care, ensuring not only visual elegance but also a smooth, refined texture that feels good to the touch. This dedication to detail embodies the sincerity and patience of Yamagata artisans, who see furniture not just as objects, but as heirlooms to be handed down.
A Piece to Treasure
The S-5046MP-NT Chair is more than functional seating—it’s a piece of Japanese design history. Lightweight, durable, and artfully crafted, it represents a philosophy of “simply better living” through objects made to enrich everyday life.
Bring Japanese craftsmanship into your home with a chair that will be as treasured tomorrow as it is today.
