AÏKU SOFT Sled base fabric training chair with writing tablet

AÏKU comes from the Japanese word “haiku” and it means a short poem generally composed of three verses.‎ Wonderful poems that in a few words express remarkable meanings; a simple poem, with no lexical frills and conjunctions, taking its strength from suggestions.‎ Due to its incredible shortness, it requires a considerable synthesis of thought and image.‎
The meaning and the sound of this word reveal the project’s concept, to reconcile the paradoxes of uses and sensitiveness.‎ AÏKU can be radical, but at the same time is a refined architecture designed for domestic environments, as well as offices and public spaces.‎

A collection of highly comfortable chairs featuring an essential image, designed for both home and contract spaces.‎ Available in six versions of bases and a wide range of finishes.‎
