Maki is not about creating another chair. Maki represents something slower, more considered, something that invites you to pause. The idea came from an unexpected place: sushi-making. Not just the look, but the philosophy behind it, how every part has a role, how texture, shape, and layering all work together to create something simple, beautiful, and deeply intentional.
Maki reflects that spirit. The braided hemp rope exterior doesn’t just look organic, it feels like it was made by hand. It adds warmth and character that you rarely see in outdoor pieces, which too often lean into cold metals and synthetic gloss.
Inside, it uses Oryzite, a rice-husk-based plastic, not just for its sustainability, but for its quiet strength. It’s durable, light, and modern, offering a surprising contrast to the natural rope that wraps around it. Like the hidden filling of a sushi roll, it’s what gives Maki its shape and stability. IDEA Design uses bamboo-blend fabric on the interior, making it soft, breathable, and naturally antibacterial, ideal for year-round use. And because it’s fully modular, you can move, assemble, or reconfigure Maki without tools or stress. In a world of loud design and fast trends, Maki is a quiet reply: a piece that takes its time, and gives it back to you.
