Do you have a favorite chair?

This special feature introduces various examples of "chairs and spaces." Unlike shelves or desks, chairs are the most familiar piece of furniture because they can be easily moved and can be placed anywhere to create your own "space." If you have a chair like this that you'll want to take with you even if you move, I think it will make the space feel even more special.

BinB interviewed 100 chair lovers from a variety of genres, including photographers, writers, architects, chefs, stylists, shop owners, and comedians, about their favorite chairs. The 100 chairs collected represent a wide variety of types and backgrounds, including classic chairs as well as custom-made benches and homemade stools. We hope you enjoy reading along with their stories.

For this reader giveaway, we have prepared a chair selected by Toru Nihei, the owner of Nihei Antique Furniture Store, which was featured in the article, so please be sure to apply.

Friend's chair
This is a round stool at a friend's house. For some reason, it's very comfortable to sit on, so I've made it my regular spot. But I'm sure I wouldn't sit on it if it was in my own home. I think the relationship with the space is also important.
