Sublime Takeshi Nii 'Ny Chair' Folding Chair
Designer Takeshi Nii'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 the NY folding chair in 1958. It subsequently won numerous awards and became a permanent feature at MoMA in 1970.
Named the 'Ny Chair' after his family name Nii, and also the Danish word for new or fresh, this light and elegant chair is ultra functional for small spaces with the ability to fold down.
