NY chair by Takeshi Nii |
||||||||||||||
|
The designer, Takeshi Nii's passion for chairs began when he saw a director's chair in a magazine before WWII. While repeating tests for functional chairs, Nii saw a beautiful chair with fabric seat from Denmark. Getting inspiration from these chairs, Nii produced this folding chair (designed in 1958) which won numerous awards and later became a permanent collection of MOMA in 1970. It was sold even in US market then but no one carried for long time until we started in 2005. He named this "NY chair" after his family name Nii, and also after Danish meaning new or fresh. Nii's policy is to produce functional and reasonable chairs that can be used for daily use. We are so happy to introduce this 'long-life' chair again to US market!
"I wanted to produce a chair where one can just sit in and relax after eating a nice meal.” good news for owners who have the 70's original one! click herefor more details
