Kashiwado Chair by Isamu Kenmochi

When we first saw pictures of this chair, we were almost entirely sure we¡¯d have to have one. Designed for Tendo Japan in 1961, the Kashiwado Chair by Isamu Kenmochi ($9,950) has become a true design icon, yet remains rather difficult to find. Made of polished cedar, there is no question that the chair will last a lifetime ¡ª just ask the famous Sumo wrestler Kashiwado for whom the chair was created.
