Soichi's Principles

Soichi was founded in Yokohama in 2020 as a custom-made furniture manufacturer, and although it mainly makes wooden furniture, it creates products that are not bound by the framework. While general furniture production often limits items and materials, Soichi comprehensively produce both leggings (chairs, tables, etc.) and boxes (chests of drawers, shelves, etc.).They offer a variety of materials, including decorative boards, without distinction. This is because they want to be a "resource for manufacturing" that is sensitive to the feelings of our customers and able to respond to their various requests. The company name "十一" which made of three lines embodies the philosophy of "bringing special charm to simple, universal shapes."

 

 

Making things

There are several kanji that can be applied to the word "つくる/tsukuru", and it seems that all of them apply to Soichi. They create everyday objects, both tangible and intangible, with their own hands, from small items to large pieces of furniture. The creative emotions that arouse in them lead them to the process of "creating" original furniture.

Its distinctive feature is that the backrest, called a Kasagi, draws a deep arc and is designed to double as an armrest. The seat is made of paper cord and has a gentle touch, so you can sit comfortably by sitting deeply.

The back legs are carved from a single piece of wood, twisted, and tapered toward the ground. At first glance, you may not realize that the composition is as simple as a child's drawing. Exactly This chair embodies Soichi's principles of "giving a special charm to simple, universal forms".
