Design Year: 1958.

Designer Takeshi Nii named the "NY Chair" after his family name Nii, and also the Danish word for "new" or "fresh". The designer's passion for chairs began when he saw a director's chair in a magazine before WWII. While repeating tests for functional chairs, Nii saw a beautiful chair with a fabric seat from Denmark. Inspired by these chairs, Nii produced this folding chair (designed in 1958) which won numerous awards and later became a permanent feature at MOMA in 1970.

This versatile chair tucks away on a whim, folding to just 5" in width for storage in the smallest of spaces.

Notes: Compactly folds to 5.5" W and stands by itself. Washable, strong 100% cotton canvas.

Takeshi Nii

"I wanted to produce a chair where one can just sit in and relax after eating a nice meal."
- Takeshi Nii

Designer Takeshi Nii's policy is to produce functional and reasonable chairs for daily use. Easily folded and tucked away for storage then pulled and moved to one place or many for use, the NY Chair meets these design principles splendidly.

Notes: Compactly folds to 5.5" W and stands by itself. Washable, strong 100% cotton canvas.

Customer Reviews

This is my third.

I have been using NY chair for more than 20 years, and this is the third one. One chair last for 10years until the fabric got dirty and worn out.

I hope you have a service to replace the seat because flame is still fine after long years' abuse.

This chair is comfortable and easy to store when necessary.
