Objective
In 2021, Higashikawa, one of the main production areas of Asahikawa furniture, was established “Good Chair Day” with architect Kengo Kuma. In conjunction with this effort, this exhibition will curate and display world-famous chairs from “Oda Collection” by theme with the 14th of each month as a replacement day.
Overview
From January 14th, 2023 to April 13th, 2023, under the theme of “Chairs of Honor”, we introduce chairs from Oda Collection that have been top-rated as excellent works and won awards in design competitions and design awards held around the world. Since 1990, IFDA (International Furniture Design Competition Asahikawa) , which has been held every three years as a major event in the furniture production area, they have produced many excellent works. In the developed countries of the world, there are organizations to promote design in each country, and design awards are established in various forms such as exhibitions and competitions. These awards have different judging standards and concepts depending on the host country and purpose, but each has its own history and has played a major role in the development of design as an authoritative award. In Oda Collection, which has masterpieces of excellent design, you can see many works that have won honors at design awards around the world.
