Toshiyuki Kita Tomo Floor Lamp Black / Silver / Red, circa 1980

About the Item

Floor Lamp designed by Toshiyuki Kita, circa 1980. Manufactured by Luci, Italy. In original condition, with minor wear consistent with age and use, preserving a beautiful patina. Materials: Iron Plastic Steel Dimensions: D 65 cm x W 35 cm x H 142 cm Industrial designer Toshiyuki Kita was born in Osaka, Japan in 1942. In 1969, Kita relocated to Italy, where he worked as an Industrial designer for Italian brands such as Bernin, Bilumen and Cassina. In 1980, he designed the versatile and playful Wink Chair for Cassina, perhaps Kita's most well-known design. This multifunctional recliner could be adjusted into various positions, and featured a removable and replaceable cover to change with the season. Kita’s designs focus on the dichotomies between the East and the West, and the past and the future; creating truly distinct and individual pieces. Kita’s work remains in permanent collections at several international museums, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, and the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe in Hamburg.
