A graceful silhouette with practical features
The Crossa WOOD chair by Itoki and Karimoku Furniture transforms the lightness of Japanese chestnut into a study in agility and elegance. Recently honored with the 2025 Wood Design Award – Forestry Agency Director-General’s Award (Excellence Award), the piece exemplifies the union of craftsmanship and intelligent design.


Presented by Magran Living
Made from domestic Japanese chestnut, a material rarely used in furniture-making, Crossa WOOD turns the timber’s natural lightness into functional strength—balancing comfort, stability, and refined form. Its hybrid construction of wood and steel ensures durability while preserving an airy, minimal presence.

With its graceful silhouette and practical versatility—folding, self-standing, and nesting with ease—the Crossa WOOD chair bridges home-like warmth and professional adaptability, redefining the modern workspace with quiet sophistication.
