Musubi
This stool was inspired by the word Musubi. Musubi is an ancient Japanese Shinto concept, and it is the idea that things and life are formed by connecting various things. The shape of this stool is based on the motif of a Mizuhiki bow knot. When viewed from the front, the design is linear, but when viewed from an angle, the seat appears to have a gentle curve. When not in use, it can be folded up for compact storage. It can be easily assembled by simply inserting the parts without using nails or screws.
Musubi Stool by Chinen Mizuki has been selected as a grand example of industrial design by the A' Design Awards. Musubi Stool received the Silver A' Design Award in Furniture Design in 2025. The A' Furniture Design Award is an international, jury-voted, fair and ethical design accolade which celebrates exceptional design of chairs, tables, sofas, beds, cabinets, shelves, desks, wardrobes and more.
