The Shikiri series is based on the motif of shikiri partitions seen in traditional Japanese architecture and features misty blueish gray tones that are reminiscent of black ink painting and Scandinavian landscapes.
Nychair X Shikiri

From inside to outside, from outside to inside.

Traditional Japanese housing uses curtains, folding screens, partition screens, bamboo blinds, and other interior elements as a way to "partition" the space.

These partitions can block dazzling sunlight or the view from the outside but at the same time allow people inside to be aware of light, wind, or sound from outside the partition. They are indispensable items in Japanese houses, where people highly value the changes in the natural world outside.

Nychair X Shikiri series follows in the footsteps of Takeshi Nii and expresses the elements of beauty in Japanese architecture through weaving patterns with different-colored yarns.

Discover Nychair X Models

Nychair X Shikiri series includes three types of models: X, Rocking and Ottoman. Nychair X gives a sense of stability; Nychair X Rocking gently sways the user's body; and Nychair X Ottoman, which serves not only as additional support during relaxing, but also can be used as a stool, or in many different ways.

Comfort with a sense of stability

Nychair X Shikiri

The first model in Nychair X series. The seat height is the lowest in this model, and it gives the greatest sense of grounding. Thanks to a generous seat depth, the chair allows the whole body to lay back and rest. When paired with Ottoman, it can provide even more relaxing experience.

A gentle movement that embraces the body

Nychair X Rocking Shikiri

The smooth and gentle motion was possible to achieve thanks to the advanced bending technology. Because the chair moves together with the body, and it is possible to stop at any desired angle, it can be used in a variety of situations: leaning forward for work, leaning backward to peacefully listen to music, in a neutral position to watch movies. It is easier to get up due to the higher seating position and the rocking movement.

From a partner in resting to a versatile tool

Nychair X Ottoman Shikiri

When Ottoman is used together with Nychair X or Nychair X Rocking as a set, it allows you to entrust your whole body in its soft embrace, from head to toe, and enjoy even deeper stages of relaxation.

Many ottomans have a slanted seat to accommodate the shape of the legs and feet better, but Nychair X Ottoman has a flat horizontal seat to serve other purposes as well. With a load capacity of 95 kg, it can of course be used as a stool, but it can also play a variety of flexible roles: with a tray on top, it can be used as a side table; it can be placed at the entrance as a support tool for taking shoes off; it can turn into a temporary storage rack, and so on.
