NUPRI Armchair
Best sculptural seating for design-conscious homeowners seeking natural, artisanal craftsmanship.
The NUPRI Armchair, a creation by Toshiyuki Kita for CondeHouse, draws inspiration from the natural beauty of Hokkaido, Japan. Its name, meaning 'mountain' in the Ainu language, reflects its deep connection to nature, realized through the use of locally sourced Hokkaido-grown Japanese Oak. The chair showcases a distinctive, flowing line of solid wood that elegantly connects the back, arms, and legs, creating a visual tension between strength and delicacy. This piece serves as both a functional, sturdy seat for everyday use and a striking work of art.

Know before you buy
Yes, the chair is specifically designed for outdoor environments like patios, decks, and balconies. However, as it is crafted from solid Japanese Oak, we recommend protecting it from extreme weather conditions or covering it when not in use to maintain the wood's integrity.
No, the NUPRI Armchair arrives fully assembled. It is ready for use immediately out of the box.
The wood slat design provides a firm, supportive seat that emphasizes the chair's sculptural form. While it offers excellent stability, you may prefer adding a thin outdoor cushion if you plan on sitting for several hours at a time.
To preserve the wood, wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth regularly to remove dust and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap, ensuring you dry the surface immediately to prevent moisture buildup.
The arm height is 26 1/2 inches. We recommend measuring the clearance of your specific table to ensure the arms can slide underneath comfortably.
The Natural finish highlights the raw, warm tones of the Japanese Oak, while the White Wash finish applies a subtle, translucent layer that softens the wood grain for a lighter, more contemporary aesthetic.
