Kyoto Alu draws its name and inspiration from Kyoto, Japan, a city with a rich, enduring crafts culture. Like its rattan sister collection, its handcrafted appeal, generous proportions and distinctive patterns are elevated by luxuriously plush cushions; however, unlike its exclusively lounge predecessor, Kyoto Alu includes a perfectly scaled armchair which pairs beautifully with a variety of JANUS et Cie dining tables. Offered in Lava and Limestone, Kyoto Alu coordinates with the Amari, Wing, and Vino collections.
