Zaisu Chairs : Dining Furniture in Traditional Japanese Sitting Style

4:00 am in Chairs, Dining Chairs, Dining Room Furniture, Dining Tables, Furnishings, Furniture, Traditional, Zen by John

Zaisu chairs are a floor sitting piece of furniture that came into style in Japan during the Muromachi period. During that period of architecture floors were covered in thick straw mats known as “tatami”. The ruling warrior class created strict rules about living daily lives which brought on the sitting posture called “seiza” as it was deemed the respectful way to sit. Now, Japanese dining furniture sets featuring Zaisu chairs are popular as families adopt traditional Japanese ways of living in an effort to improve the connection a family feels while spending time together.

Trend Spotlight: Shrinking Form, Growing Patterns

8:46 am in Designer Spotlight by Lauren


For the past several years, oversized furniture was all the rage. Whether it was designed to fill large rooms with cathedral seating or to emulate the stuffed leather chairs found at posh clubs, oversized chairs and tables have come – and gone. Now, modern interiors are shrinking the size but increasing the patterns on their main features. No longer are tufted, cushy, thick sofas in vogue, but rather thinner, more ornate and highly patterned pieces have begun springing up. These more detailed pieces can be overwhelming, so it might be best not to make the switch all at once, but instead ease in the new accented furniture to compliment your current decor.
