About the Item

Set of 2 tripod dining chairs ‘Tacchi' by Toshiyuki Kita for AIDEC, Japan. Designed and manufactured in the 1980s 'Born in Osaka in 1942 Kita’s designs have won international acclaim for both, his adherence to sustainable design and his organic, almost faunal forms. In his career, he has designed for numerous International design houses including Cassina and Ligne Roset. Many of his works are on display at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich, and other important museums around the world.' "Toshiyuki Kita has been a protagonist at many recent editions of the Milan Design Week, where every year he exhibits creations born out of the encounter between natural materials fashioned according to time-honoured Japanese artisanal tradition and new technologies reflecting respect for the environment. In 2011 Toshiyuki Kita is one of the three non-Italian designers winning the prestigious International Compasso d’Oro Career Prize awarded by the Industrial Design Association (ADI). The International Compasso d’Oro Career Prize symbolizes the importance of Toshiyuki Kita’s work in today’s world. His success is affirmed not only by the interest of companies, but especially by the general public, who still marvel at the creations of a designer who connects the past with the future, and East with West through beauty and design." The Tacchi chair was designed in the 1980s. The structure is made of bent beechwood and black powder-coated aluminium, seat and backrest padded and upholstered in black leather. The chair is marked on the reverse side. Two chairs offered here for sale are in a very good vintage condition. Minor surface wear, some superficial scratches and age patina can be seen. The structure is sturdy and without defects.
