Summary

'Simple Japanese Furniture' presents 24 simple and stylish furniture projects for the home based on timeless Japanese designs from the mid-1950s. The designs are by the Japanese design group KAK, led by architect and industrial designer Yoshio Akioka. Now, more than half a century after their creation, the chairs, tables and storage furniture retain their simple beauty and functionality. Each project is presented with notes on the key design elements of the piece, the tools and techniques needed, and step-by-step instructions for completion. The designs are chosen to illustrate the structure of furniture and key principles in furniture building, and the techniques are well-suited to working with cuts of coniferous trees, especially cedar.
