Torii Nest Outdoor Sofa
2023 Torii Nest Outdoor Sofa
nendo 2023
Airy, with constructive details linked to Japanese tradition, the Torii Sofa expands the collection with a two-seater sofa with a curved silhouette and a circular chaise-longue. The collection plays with round edged volumes, thin profiles and the apparent formal simplicity of an extremely detailed design. The metal structure of the legs of the seats and tables is Nendo’s nod to the image of the “torii”, the entrance gate to Shinto shrines in Japan. Extending the indoor collection, Torii Nest also includes armchairs, little armchairs and dining chairs.

nendo
nendo is the name of the 70-person Tokyo studio of industrial designer Oki Sato. Born in Toronto, Canada in 1977, today Sato is one of the world’s most prolific designers, working for brands as varied as Fritz Hansen, Stellar Works, Wonder Glass, Moroso, Flos and Minotti. “nendo” means “clay” in Japanese, and the studio prides itself on being as flexible as that venerable material.
