AÏKU COLLECTION

Designed by Jean Marie Massaud

Designed by Jean Marie Massaud, the Aïku collection is inspired by short Japanese poems that capture intimate meanings in a few words. As in a haiku (俳句), the concept is therefore the extreme synthesis, in this case between aesthetics and functionality.

The chair shell is available with saffiano-effect texture in different colours or upholstered and can be combined with different bases: round-shaped legs, sled, sled with armrests and table, tapered base and solid oak wood legs. The versions with round-shaped legs, sled and tapered base are stackable.

A dynamic and essential seating family that responds effectively to the needs of the contract and domestic environments.
