K-Chair and K-Plus by Helle Damkaer for Kitani

Danish designer Helle Damkaer has created a set of chair and stool called K-Chair and K-Plus for Japanese furniture manufacturer Kitani. In designer’s words, “K is for Kitani and Ki, this means wood and also spirit in Japanese. Kitani has been producing Danish chairs by famous Danish designers for the last 15 years. When Kitani assigned me to design a small collection of furniture that would represent the company vision of 2011, I was sure that I had to design something more than a “well crafted” chair. It needed to be the perfect balance between modern design and immaculate craftsmanship.”
