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.
From August 22 to November 25, 2024, as part of the special exhibition “Chairs Born from Architecture” at Centpure, the Higashikawa Arts Exchange Center, works by the renowned Scottish architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh will be featured. The exhibition will showcase pieces from the Oda Collection, which includes world-famous chairs. Mackintosh, a key figure in early 20th-century Art Nouveau and the Arts and Crafts movement, is known for his chair designs that blend aesthetics with functionality.
