Mikado
Mikado is a chair with a serene yet commanding aura that aims to impress not only by its form but also through unparalleled comfort – whether used around home dining tables, in restaurants or for meeting rooms. The Mikado seating experience is defined by upholstery on all sides as well as the dynamic movement of the backrest. An ingeniously simple mechanism concealed beneath the seat allows the back to move with the sitter and recline at a slight angle for even greater comfort. Mikado was designed with sustainability in mind from the outset: the chair’s covers are neither glued nor stapled and can be removed by service employees for cleaning or replacement. The legs may be replaced individually or exchanged for a different material option – wood or recycled aluminium. The inner seat panel is made of aluminium with a high recycled content, and the backrest shell is produced from recycled post-consumer polypropylene, which can be easily separated from the foam padding during recycling. The concept of a simple exchange of components gives Mikado long-term versatility, thereby ensuring longevity. 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. Different legs, two backrests, a choice of fabric or leather covers and numerous colours afford a wide variety of possible combinations.
