In the ever-transitioning world of furniture design, creativity knows little bounds. From lavish thrones to space-saving marvels, designers around the world continue to push the boundaries of what a chair can be! Case in point, the CU11 Chair by some designer in Japan that challenges conventional notions and embraces a touch of Japanese ingenuity.
Developed with minimalistic brilliance in mind, from natural walnut and finished with a coat of resin, the CU11 chair defies tradition by doing away with a backrest. Instead, it requires you to embrace the comfort of a wall. Picture this: a chair nestled snugly against the wall, where it finds its support and invites you to come and relax. This arrangement saves space, alight, but it also adds an artistic flair to your entryway, which in most homes begs for space.
The chair itself is shrouded in mystery as its designer remains unknown, it is currently sold by Karimoku Furniture (permalink in Japanese), as a chair that’s much more than just a seat. The genesis of the chair can be attributed to two distinct ideas: CU11 effortlessly accommodates itself into a small living space, making a statement without overwhelming the room, and it has a profound consideration for the elderly.

Elderly people can reliably sit on CU11 chair while wearing or taking off their footwear. But when the aged are an inspiration for design, you have to think a little beyond the ordinary. So, besides its comfortable armrests, the chair offers a wider seat than usual, and a clever flip-out hook for holding a cane or walking stick. The astounding hidden gem rests under the chair’s armrest when not in use and does not get in the way.
Delving into the specifics, the CU11 chair stands 57cm high. It has a 56.5 cm width and is 34.5 cm deep. Tipping the scales at 5.7 kg, this uniquely comfortable embodiment of contemporary artistry comes with a hefty, 63,580 yen (approximately $450) price tag.
