Conversations in Form

Originally designed by architect Marcio Kogan, the Daiki chair is a study in sculptural wood and ergonomic restraint. Our version pays homage to the silhouette’s signature shell and grounded proportions, pairing rich walnut tones with textural upholstery. Designed to blend seamlessly into lounge areas or reading corners, it’s a piece that makes its presence known—quietly.

Design

At once minimal and organic, the design nods to mid-century Brazilian architecture with its interplay of form and material:
• The curved shell hugs the body and eliminates the need for armrests
• Deep seat depth and low profile encourage lounging and relaxation
• Contrasting black legs provide a visual counterweight to the wood grain
• The tailored grid tufting adds a subtle textural detail without disrupting the form
Care

• Vacuum regularly using a soft brush attachment
• Spot clean fabric with a damp cloth and mild detergent
• Avoid direct sunlight to preserve wood finish
• Wipe wood and metal legs with a soft, dry cloth
  • Arrives in 6-10 Weeks

Architectural Wood Shell

A molded wood shell cradles the seat with a continuous wraparound curve—a hallmark of Marcio Kogan’s design language.

Textural Contrast

The tactile fabric adds visual depth and softness, playing against the structured lines of the wood frame.

Floating Frame Effect

Powder-coated metal legs lift the seat off the ground with a slight recline, emphasizing the chair’s sculptural silhouette.

Comfort Without Bulk

Low, wide, and gently angled, the design encourages lounging while maintaining a crisp, tailored profile.

Questions About The Daiki Armchair

How long until I receive my order?

The Daiki Armchair arrives approximately 6-10 Weeks from the day of order.

Our products take longer to arrive than most others on the internet. But there's a good reason why. Most of our pieces are made to order and ship directly from the source. We don’t keep warehouses or carry excess inventory. This is how we cut costs and pass thousands in savings back to you. But it also means you have to wait a bit longer.
What is your return policy

The Daiki Armchair can be returned Made-to-order, no returns accepted after receiving the order if the product is damaged or unusable.

Our products are made to order. So we cannot offer returns for changes in preference. But we always do what we can to make it right.

To be returned, products need to be completely unused and still in their original packaging.
How can I track my order?

The Daiki Armchair ships within 7 days of order placement.

Judge us by our looks

Our packaging is safe, simple, and proudly no frills. We don't think it makes sense to pay for things you throw away immediately.

That's why the Daiki Armchair ships in the same protective packaging the manufacturer uses, covered in functional stickers and foreign stamps showing the journey it's been on.

We don't hide it and wear it as a badge of honor for the places our products have been and the people who made them.
