Cantinetta Chair
Cantinetta Chair by Keiji Takeuchi for Karimoku.
Developed by designer Keiji Takeuchi, the Cantinetta Chair reflects a calm, contemporary approach to dining furniture. It is shaped by the evolving character of Japanese interiors, where Eastern and Western influences blend naturally. Designed to meld quietly into a space, the chair embodies a neutral, welcoming presence suited to everyday living.
The design draws inspiration from the CS1105 chair, a model discontinued in 2015, which is still in use within the Karimoku factory cafeteria. Its solid, reassuring silhouette and simple charm were reinterpreted to suit modern homes, resulting in a piece that feels both familiar and refined.
The name “Cantinetta,” meaning “small dining place” in Italian, reflects the intimate atmosphere of a family table. Crafted from beech wood, known for its soft expression and smooth texture, it offers the perfect balance of strength and flexibility in the material. Over time, its light tone deepens into a rich amber, developing a natural patina shaped by daily use.
