Kantan
Japanese designer Tadao Inouye created this pivotal mid-century modern collection for Brown Jordan in 1956 using the latest lightweight extruded aluminum and sun-and-weather-resistant vinyl straps. Typifying the spirit of breezy southern California living, Kantan won the award for most innovative use of aluminum at the first International Casual Furniture Association Market in Chicago. To celebrate Brown Jordan’s 70th anniversary in 2015, we reissued Kantan in new mix and match frame finishes with Vinyl laces or Suncloth laces. That year Kantan won the same award at the same furniture market once again, a testament to Kantan’s enduring design.
