The embracing form draws inspiration from the shape of the traditional Japanese instrument biwa, from which it takes its name, and Japan’s Lake Biwa, where the chair is produced.
Designed for comfort and ease, this versatile work and lounge chair provides functional support for professional work in the office while stimulating a flexible mindset.
Gently enveloping the body, its design integrates a synchro-tilt mechanism—essential for task chairs—to ensure comfort during long work hours. The backrest curves seamlessly into the armrests, supporting a broad variety of sitting positions and encouraging relaxed, natural
conversation in the workspace.
Available in high or low versions and a wide range of colors and materials, BIWA’s versatility adapts to diverse settings from desk work to meeting rooms, lounges to conference environments.
