FROM INSIDE TO OUTSIDE, FROM OUTSIDE TO INSIDE

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 is inspired by the concept of a shikiri partition and suggests a lifestyle with a closer connection to nature.

LIGHT GREY KOSHI

A horizontally long lattice pattern. The slight contrast of thin white lines against the light grey background creates an image of morning sunlight outlining the frame of a wooden lattice door.

BLUE GREY SUDARE

The narrow stripes made of blue and white lines represent light and breeze traveling through a reed screen. The delicate coloring evokes haze over a lake.

DARK GREY SHOJI

A pattern with large squares representing the frame of a shoji screen. The dark grey color with a blue tint is inspired by the deep color of forest in mist.
