Overview
Design by Tokujin Yoshioka, 2008.
Made in Italy by Kartell.
Inspired by the play between the warp and the weft in cloth, the Ami Ami chair, whose name in Japanese literally means "to weave", was born of the desire to reproduce one of the stylistic icons typical of designer Tokujin Yoshioka's country - weaving. The simple squared off lines contrast with the richness of the weaving, achieved on the inner and outer surfaces through a complex industrial process which recreates the motif using a single mold.
Ami Ami brings together the appeal of oriental culture and the use of innovative materials like polycarbonate. Suitable for indoor/outdoor applications, the Ami Ami Chair stacks 4 units high and is available in both transparent and solid versions.
Notes:
Suitable for indoor/outdoor use.
