Armchair Canta K06 by Toshiyuki Kita for Cassina, 2000

The armchair "canta" k06 is part of a group of three armchairs (aki biki and canta) designed by designer toshiyuki kita for cassina in 2000. Its structure is made of steel with pu protection, the removable coatings are made of fabric. The canta armchair has a movable armrest that can be used as a headrest. In the age of the home office and ubiquitous technology. This chair has been designed to meet the needs of modern society both at home and in the workspace. The goal was to create an adaptable living room with a comfortable and dynamic chair that could rotate 360 degrees. Condition: this chair was available on a swivel stand or on wheels, the model presented here is on swivel stand. The condition is very good with normal traces of use, slight discoloration at the armrests, slight wear of the fabric at the back, no holes or tears. The fabric was cleaned by me. The cover is removable. The swivel foot works perfectly. Possibility to buy it in pair with the canta armchair (mythical armchair with removable armrest turning into a headrest). About the designer: born in osaka (japan) in 1942, toshiyuki kita's work is essentially characterized by the use, research and revalorization of materials and manufacturing systems derived from japanese culture. But kita also knows how to respond with fantasy to the imperatives of the western world in which it operates. The wink armchair (1980) and the kick coffee table (1984), designed for cassina, are part of the permanent collection of the moma in new york. Kita's work has been the subject of numerous recognitions and exhibitions around the world.
