The Nychair X Shikiri ottoman is a Japanese design classic that combines a foldable metal frame, a cotton fabric seat and wooden supports, resulting in an effortlessly light and airy aesthetic. Named and inspired by Japanese partitions and folding screens, the Nychair X Shikiri ottoman is adorned with a geometric pattern by Rika Kawato. The durable sailcloth moulds to the contours of the sitter, and if needed, the entire seat fabric can be cleaned or replaced. The Nychair X Shikiri ottoman can be used as a footstool for Nychair X lounge chairs or as a portable stool on its own, and its foldable structure enables effortless storage and transportation.
Designed by Takeshi Nii and first introduced in 1970, the Nychair X has captivated Japanese design enthusiasts for over half a century. Drawing inspiration from the Japanese way of life, the chair's timeless appeal and meticulous craftsmanship have earned praise from around the world, earning the Nychair X prestigious awards such as the Good Design Award and the Long Life Design Award. To this day, the Nychair X series continues to be manufactured in carefully selected production facilities in Japan.
