About Us

About Us | Kinma Ergonomic Chairs

Crafted in Hokkaido, Designed for Life.

For over three decades, in the majestic and serene land of Hokkaido, Japan, we have adhered to a philosophy of blending exceptional craftsmanship with the science of human comfort. We are Kinma Ergonomic Chair Manufacturing Co., a family-owned manufacturer dedicated to the art of creating exceptional ergonomic chairs.

Our Heritage: The Spirit of Hokkaido Craftsmanship

Established more than 30 years ago in a small workshop in Hokkaido, we began with a simple yet firm belief: a chair should serve the human body, not the other way around. Rooted in the Japanese tradition of Takumi (artisan mastery), we approach every stitch, curve, and mechanism with a craftsman's pride and an engineer's precision. This meticulous, hands-on spirit is the soul of every chair we create. We are not a mass-production facility; we are a community of artisans committed to perfecting our craft, one chair at a time.

The Science of Comfort, The Soul of Craftsmanship

We believe that true ergonomics is a harmony of science and soul. At Kinma, our master craftsmen work alongside ergonomic specialists to deconstruct the complexities of human posture, studying the subtle ways the body moves, rests, and works.

Every Kinma chair is born from this profound understanding. We use only the finest materials—from resilient molded polymers to premium, breathable fabrics—ensuring durability that matches comfort. Our frames are built to last a lifetime, and our mechanisms are engineered for intuitive, seamless adjustment. This relentless pursuit of perfection ensures that each chair doesn’t just fit your body—it anticipates its needs.

Our Promise: The Kinma Standard

What sets us apart is our Kinma Standard—a commitment to quality that transcends borders.

  • Uncompromising Quality: Every component is tested and assembled by our craftsmen in Hokkaido, Japan, ensuring products that meet the highest global standards.
