UNDERCOVER will begin selling the "Anarchy Chair," made by Tendo Mokko, from February 26th. Designer Jun Takahashi has previously produced and sold one-of-a-kind chairs featuring the anarchist symbol, the circle A, on the back. This time, however, the brand has decided to commercialize and sell a new chair born from the desire to create something that can fit into any space, such as a home or studio, and that can be used for a long time without getting bored.
While the design is simple enough to blend in with other existing furniture, it also features Undercover's signature elements, such as the placement of Circle A and the use of different materials for the leg caps. In order to ensure durability and precision, we commissioned Tendo Mokko, a leading Japanese furniture manufacturer, to produce the product. We paid particular attention to the comfort of the seat by adjusting the depression and thickness of the seat and the curve of the part that touches the legs. Furthermore, the seat is made of two types of material: black natural leather and off-white French wool boa, and this choice of material also contributes to the comfort of the seat.
Size: W460 x D504 x H845 SH450mm
Price: Natural leather (Black): 180,000 yen (198,000 yen incl. tax), Wool boa (Off White): 220,000 yen (242,000 yen incl. tax)
Retail locations: UNDERCOVER Aoyama, Sendai, Kanazawa, Nagoya, Kyoto, Online store (https://store.undercoverism.com)
< Tendo Mokko >
A furniture manufacturer founded in 1940. In 1947, they began researching molded plywood furniture. He is also known for being one of the first in Japan to put into practical use the "molded plywood" technique, which involves stacking thin boards and inserting them into a mold to create any shape. He has been an early collaborator with architects and designers both in Japan and abroad, and has produced many pieces of furniture that have made their mark on design history. One of his signature works is Sori Yanagi's Butterfly Stool (1956), which is part of the permanent collections of museums around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Louvre. Due to the durability and reliability of his technical expertise, he has a long track record of supplying his products to government agencies and public facilities, and is highly regarded by architects and design firms.
