Haniwa
by Jennifer Yoko Olson for Base 10
Haniwa
Offered in natural, or black patinated cherry,
or custom wood species
33.75 x 27.0 x 27.0 in
Inquire
Designed by Jennifer Yoko Olson for Base 10, the Haniwa chair draws inspiration (and its name) from haniwa ceremonial clay figures of Kofun-period Japan. The clay techniques used at that time required a wide, cylindrical base to support the lighter body above, giving the figures a curious proportion to modern eyes.
The Haniwa chair combines the distinctive charm of these figures with the deceptive strength of wood joinery. Its stout, round legs are topped by airy caning and armrests that seem suspended in midair.
This graphical interpretation of ancient forms brings unexpected character and comfort to the contemporary living space.

Inquire
Designed by Jennifer Yoko Olson for Base 10, the EKM bench deploys complex hand-cut joinery in service of minimal design, resulting in a graphic but modest, suble but distinct form.
The elemental, light-weight appearance is supported by a series of intricate joints, which become totally invisible once assembled. At the top of the seat, four through-tenon joints are visible as simple squares, inviting one to imagine the inner workings beneath the surface.

Designed by Jennifer Yoko Olson for Base 10, the UKB chair brings traditional Japanese craftsmanship to a relaxed and refined contemporary lifestyle.
The minimalist silhouette and precise alignments are made possible only through the intricacy of hand-cut joinery. The broad radius and clean lines pay homage to Streamline architecture and the sweeping horizontal landscapes of LA, the home of Base 10 Furniture.
