RONIN
“The combination of the right proportions and the overall functionality of the furniture are important to me, so in the end the furniture stands as a whole both functionally and aesthetically.”
Ronin offers a symbiosis of craftsmanship and culture. A combination of Japanese and Danish design highlighting the love of wood and materials.
EMIL LAGONI VALBAK & FREDERIK WERNER
THE DESIGNERS
Emil Lagoni Valbak and Frederik Werner met at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts where they graduated in 2013. Frederik and Emil belong to the new generation of Danish design but follow the tradition of natural and pure Nordic design.
What was the initial inspiration for the Ronin chair ?
“To create a combination of traditional scandinavian stick furniture with a more Japanese look. The curved backrest and seat are the elements that meet the body, and are distinguished from the frame through it’s soft and accomodating shapes.
We found inspiration in architectural arches, samourai swords and helmets.”

THE ELEGANCE OF SCULPTED STONE
The backrest of the Ronin chair illustrates the perfect encounter between bold design and the use of noble materials.
Carved from the mass, the marble is meticulously polished to achieve a delicate curvature that dialogues with the warmth of wood and fabric.
This innovative design allows the Ronin chair to stand out as a sculptural object in any space.
COLLECTIBLE BRUXELLES 2022
May 2022, first time for La Chance at Collectible fair in Brussels. The opportunity to show a selection of custom-made pieces as well as the 2022 novelties of the collection including the RONIN chair.
L'ÉLÉGANCE DE LA PIERRE SCULPTÉE
Le dossier de la chaise Ronin illustre la rencontre parfaite entre un design audacieux et l’utilisation de matériaux nobles.
Taillé dans la masse, le marbre est minutieusement poli pour obtenir une courbure délicate qui dialogue avec la chaleur du bois et du tissu.
Cette conception innovante permet à la chaise Ronin de s’imposer comme un objet sculptural au sein de n’importe quel espace.
