Indonesia, home to vast tropical rainforests, has long inspired legends and imagination—including the figure of King Kong, a giant mammal that seems to emerge from this majestic wilderness.
His powerful physique inspires the design of the King Kong Chair: sturdy, bold, and protective.
Inspiration
King Kong, a mythical giant linked to tropical rainforests, echoes the lush landscapes of Indonesia, often called the lungs of the Earth.
It is time for Indonesia, a country blessed with strong natural character, to also claim a unique and recognizable identity in the modern design industry.
Scale and form
His bold proportions inspire our exploration of scale and form, resonating with the principles of tropical architecture rooted in our daily life.
Inspired by this fascinating tale and fused with design knowledge in aesthetics, technical precision, and ergonomics, we have transformed these ideas into a signature piece — our number one chair, which we proudly call the King Kong Chair.
Materials
Solid Sungkai wood with a natural finish, upholstered in leather.
Detail
This chair blends the principles of tropical architecture with the design identity of the archipelago.
Iconic, daring, and deeply rooted in the natural strength of Indonesia.
