Musubi
This stool was inspired by the word Musubi. Musubi is an ancient Japanese Shinto concept, and it is the idea that things and life are formed by connecting various things. The shape of this stool is based on the motif of a Mizuhiki bow knot. When viewed from the front, the design is linear, but when viewed from an angle, the seat appears to have a gentle curve. When not in use, it can be folded up for compact storage. It can be easily assembled by simply inserting the parts without using nails or screws.
Musubi Stool by Chinen Mizuki was selected as a creative example of industrial design by the A' Design Awards. Musubi Stool was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in Furniture Design in 2025. The A' Furniture Design Award is a highly prestigious international design accolade which celebrates outstanding design of chairs, tables, sofas, beds, cabinets, shelves, desks, wardrobes and more.
