Reka Armchair – Solid Makata Wood
by Sun at Six · Brooklyn, United States

Sun at Six is a furniture design studio focused on exploring the role that physical spaces play in our everyday choices and how we interact with others. A space - room, house, balcony, meadow, mountainside, clifftop - is an emotionally evocative entity, capable of arousing and shaping moods, actions, and feelings. From the moment you step foot within it, a space can influence your relationship with yourself and others. Furniture, and how it’s arranged, facilitates this: a deep sofa encourages you to sink back, relax in conversation, and unwind. A shallow, upright chair facilitates sharpness and focus. We seek to actualize furniture that, in conjunction with the space you design, evoke feelings that nourish the relationships that matter to you.We are a family run studio and factory with a commitment to maintaining classical Chinese joinery, a system which uses intricate, interwoven joints to create solid hardwood furniture without the use of any nails or screws. By applying it to contemporary forms, we hope to preserve this fading traditional art form.
