A contemporary reinterpretation of the historic Portuguese Chair (5008), created in the first half of the 20th century and a flagship symbol of ADICO, the 5008 OSAKA preserves the essence of the original design while adding Kengo Kuma\u2019s minimalist sensibility.<\/p>

Internationally recognized for his humanistic and integrative approach to architecture, the Japanese architect reduced the model to its essential structure, achieving remarkable visual lightness.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Fully manufactured in metal by ADICO, the 5008 OSAKA is described by Kengo Kuma as a piece that blends with the landscape, reflecting colors, light, and shadows. At the same time, it establishes a bridge between Portuguese and Japanese design: its simplicity and transparency reflect the Japanese pursuit of harmony with nature, while its solidity and precision evoke the Portuguese tradition of durability.<\/p>
