Switzerland-based Andreas Krob modelled the arch of Okamura’s Cynara chair after a Japanese archery bow.

Its synchro-reclining mechanism reacts to a user leaning back, while a unified mesh back and seat (in six colourways) embraces a body’s contours to provide lumbar support.

Made with a lightweight nylon frame — available in seven on-trend hues — the piece weighs 50 per cent less than a typical task chair.
