About the Item
Toshiyuki Kita, Biki Armchair With Arms For Cassina
The rhythm of life in the smart working era and the habits of an increasingly connected society inspired this series of design armchairs by Japanese designer Toshiyuki Kita with an eye to the evolving needs and styles of the future.
These compact armchairs, with low backrest and optional casters have a dynamic, comfortable shape, easy to use at home or in contract settings. The Canta armchair has a movable armrest that can be used as a headrest
PADDING
Polyurethane foam and polyester batting.
STRUCTURE
Frame in tubular steel with elastic webbing.
DETAIL
360-degree rotation, designed to relax.
A design that responds to the needs of modern-day society and the rhythms of life in the era of the home office, where the technology is “always on”, as much in the home as it is in the work space. The objective was to create a mobile sitting-room in the form of a comfortable and dynamic armchair that could swivel through 360 degrees, while also being comfortable. Suited to many contexts, including the “soft contract” setting, this chair is also available with an arm-rest on either side, one of which can serve as a head-rest. Available in either leather or fabric covers, as well on castors.
