Tenon Armchair

Designer Studio Ololoo

The Tenon Armchair is a refined tribute to traditional Chinese joinery craftsmanship. Named after the mortise-and-tenon technique it celebrates, this piece uses exposed wooden joints as both structural and aesthetic features. Designed with simplicity and quiet confidence, the chair’s elegant form reflects the architectural rhythm of ancient Chinese woodwork. The soft, textured upholstery provides modern comfort, while the handcrafted frame reveals the enduring artistry of Asian timber construction. A piece that bridges the past and present, Tenon invites a slower appreciation of detail and harmony in the home.
