Bambi: A Unique Blend of Furniture and Art by kamina & C Takeshi Sawada

Award-Winning Chair Design Inspired by the Serenity of Co-Existing with Animals

Unveiling 'Bambi', an innovative chair design by kamina & C Takeshi Sawada, inspired by a child's joy in feeding deer. This unique piece of furniture transcends its basic function, offering not just a place to sit, but a sense of well-being and tranquility.

The 'Bambi' chair, crafted with high-quality Japanese fake fur and oak wood, is a testament to the designer's belief in the calming effects of animal motifs. The chair's design, mimicking the form of a deer, was inspired by a child's happiness while feeding deer in Nara, Japan. This observation led to the creation of a chair that is more than a piece of furniture, but a means of alleviating both physical and mental weariness.

Creating 'Bambi' was not without its challenges. The designer had to overcome the technical difficulties of balancing the curve of the fake fur seat and the structural position of the antler and foot. However, these challenges were successfully met, resulting in a chair that is as structurally sound as it is aesthetically pleasing.

The 'Bambi' chair's unique properties and innovative design have not gone unnoticed. In 2017, it was awarded the Golden A' Furniture Design Award, a prestigious accolade granted to marvelous, outstanding, and trendsetting creations. This award is a testament to the designer's prodigy and wisdom, and the chair's ability to advance art, design, and technology.

With its patent held under 002150557, the 'Bambi' chair is a shining example of kamina & C Takeshi Sawada's innovative design philosophy. It is a piece of furniture that not only serves its basic function but also elevates the user's sense of well-being, proving that peace of mind can indeed be found in co-existing with animals.
