Kinoku Founders Merge Sustainability and Style in their Latest Chair Design

With countless chairs in the world, how can a designer create something truly special? Varun Singh Parihar and Mahima Gehlot, founders of Jaipur-based brand Kinoku, answer this question with their "Kinoku Turned Wood Chair." Their approach? A love for handicrafts, respect for technique, and care for craftsmanship.

The design process began with a goal to create a chair that's as beautiful as it is comfortable. Crafted entirely from sustainably sourced White Oak, each chair is unique thanks to the wood's distinct grain patterns. The exposed tenon and mortise joints, along with the turned wood legs, define Kinoku's signature blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern aesthetics.

But it's not simply about looks right? Comfort is key in furniture design. The backrest appears to float on the seat, while the ergonomic shape supports your lower back. You'll notice through these pictures that Kinoku's dedication to craftsmanship ensures the chair is not only beautiful but also strong and long-lasting.

For those looking to invest in a beautifully crafted, comfortable, and sustainable wooden chair, the Kinoku Turned Wood Chair by Jaipur-based designer Varun Singh Parihar is an excellent choice. Secretly, we are also hoping we can grab one ourselves. This chair encourages us to appreciate the power of a designer's vision and the importance of a thoughtful, purposeful design process that combines the best of Indian craftsmanship with modern design principles.
