Meda’s chair perfectly meets the requirement of the assigned theme, that is, a chair that lets its sitter feel sleepy with its comfort. If you feel sleepy, you can fall asleep just by unfolding its back to make it flat. The frames on both sides are made to be trussed, the special impression of which is that of aluminum die-cast. The chair of Tetsu Sumii gives you an impression of relaxed comfort, which should also be conceived as a professional response to the assigned theme.
