Subject

An obsessive furniture designer takes his desire to create the perfect chair to truly... excessive lengths.

Kujo Shinsuke (Ryu Ichinose), a chair craftsman, posts a job advertisement on social media and proceeds to murder the applicants who come for interviews. Later, he meets Kato Natsuko, a skilled buyer, and the two gradually grow closer. Shinsuke believes that “a proper framework must be built.” He kills a delivery man to collect his bones and then murders another woman to harvest her skin. Natsuko has high hopes for Shinsuke, but her colleague, Masaki, tells her that Shinsuke’s chairs are imitations of foreign designs. What is Shinsuke’s true purpose in collecting human “parts”? To uncover the truth, Natsuko and Masaki visit Shinsuke’s studio. There, a shocking truth is revealed – along with the fate of Shinsuke’s “ultimate creation.”
