Mikado
Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby, 2024

Mikado is a chair with a quiet yet confident presence that aims to impress not just with its form but also through its comfort – whether used around dining tables or in home workspaces, for office environments or in restaurants. The Mikado seating experience is defined by upholstery on all sides as well as the movement of the backrest.
"Who wants to sit still forever? We are human, and we need to be able to move to concentrate. Mikado rethinks this concept, offering comfort in a dynamic, sustainable way."
Versatility anywhere
Mikado comes in a wide selection of fabric covers and diverse colours, as well as a choice of leg variants – enabling countless configurations that can be easily modified. Whether used around home dining tables, in restaurants or for meeting rooms, Mikado adapts seamlessly to any setting.
Comfort through movement
An ingeniously simple mechanism concealed beneath the seat allows the backrest to move. Combined with all-round upholstery, this delivers exceptional comfort.
Modular components for greater sustainability
Mikado contains a high proportion of recycled materials. The individual components – including the covers – can be readily repaired or replaced by service employees, helping to extend the chair's longevity. And at the end of its lifespan, all the parts can be separated for recycling or correct disposal. The covers are neither glued nor stapled and even the polyurethane foam can be cleanly separated from the seat cushion support and back shell.
Mikado is available as an armchair with the suggestion of armrests or as a side chair, which each offer a distinctive seating experience and yet are so similar that they can be combined without disturbing the visual harmony around a table or within a given space. The different base variations, the two backs and a choice of fabric or leather covers in numerous colours ensure a wide range of possible configurations.
