When Luxury Furniture Meets a Virtual Icon: The MIKU ART CHAIR

Born from a collaboration with Crypton Future Media, creators of the world-renowned virtual singer Hatsune Miku, this limited-edition lounge chair represents a groundbreaking fusion of contemporary Japanese pop culture and timeless woodcraft. It is designed not only to celebrate art and imagination but also to expand the cultural reach of premium Japanese furniture.

Based on the award-winning FLAN Living Easy Chair, the MIKU ART CHAIR features a tall backrest and striking artwork printed on luxurious Ultrasuede®. Each version showcases a different interpretation of Hatsune Miku by one of three leading Japanese artists—Kōsuke Kawamura, SHETA, and Shoko Hirose—and is paired with a matching cushion and a signed nameplate made from Hokkaido scallopshell bioplastic.

This chair is more than furniture—it is a sculptural experience, an emotional connection, and a statement of creative excellence. We believe it will open up fresh conversations with customers who seek both authenticity and cultural relevance.

What is the HATSUNE MIKU ART CHAIR?! — Sit Down. The Future Awaits.
Hatsune Miku has always sung from a world just beyond ours filled with sound, color, and imagination. Now, that world becomes something you can actually sit in. The MIKU ART CHAIR is “seated art”—a fusion of bold visuals and warm Japanese craftsmanship. Designed by CondeHouse and featuring artwork from the ART OF MIKU exhibition, this chair is more than furniture. It's a sculptural experience. A piece of the future you can touch. It's not just about sitting.It's about feeling closer to Miku than ever before.

Built on Award-Winning Comfort: The FLAN Living Easy Chair
At the heart of the MIKU ART CHAIR is the FLAN Living Easy Chair, a prize-winning design by Hokkaido's own Shuhei Shimosato. Born from the IFDA 2021 design competition and crafted from beautiful Hokkaido ash, it's not just good-looking—it's officially award-winning (hello, 2023 Wood Design Award) With its tall backrest that offers privacy and presence, this chair isn't just for homes. It's also right at home in offices, lounges, and any space that deserves a touch of art... and Miku.

【 Sharp Printing. Soft Cushion.】
Each chair is wrapped in Ultrasuede®—a high-tech Japanese fabric from Toray Industries that brings every artistic detail to life with stunning clarity. Bonus? You'll also get a matching 45cm cushion, filled with cozy microfiber and wrapped in the same artwork.

【Signed by the Artist. Made from Scallop Shells. Seriously.】
Underneath the seat, you'll find a nameplate personally signed by the artist. And get this—it's made from eco-friendly bioplastic made using Hokkaido scallop shells.
Photos will be available soon on the official MIKU ART CHAIR website.
