The TA001P Dream Chair captures the bold vision of Japanese architect and designer, Tadao Ando who created the Dream Chair as a tribute to Hans J. Wegner. Ando wanted to create minimalist and beautiful furniture by pushing the limits of materials, craft and design. The Dream Chair tests the flexibility of a variety of materials in order to create beautiful, minimalist and iconic shapes. The TA001P Dream Chair is available with an oak or walnut frame and is expertly crafted to be appealing from any angle. It completely blurs the boundary between art and functionality. The relaxing neck pillow and upholstered back and seating in fabric or leather provide an even more luxurious experience. The upholstered TA001P Dream Chair is also available in a version with a fully exposed veneer frame, the TA001T Dream Chair.
Born in Osaka, Japan, Tadao Ando’s style is minimalistic and innovative, with a focus on functionality.
Acclaimed Japanese architect Tadao Ando (b. 1941) bases his work on a strong personal design philosophy that joins Japanese design traditions with modern Western expression.
Ando’s interest in architecture began at the age of 15 when he purchased a book of sketches by design pioneer, Le Corbusier. Today, Ando is still inspired by Le Corbusier and often evaluates his own projects relative to the modern master’s approach. Ando’s work is also strongly inspired by Danish design culture and the minimalist Scandinavian aesthetic philosophy. His work embodies the Japanese tradition of living simply and in harmony with nature – a cornerstone of the Scandinavian lifestyle.
