Designed by Takeshi Nii

Takeshi Nii the principle designer of the NychairX, was the third generation owner of a company manufacturing Kendo equipment in Tokushima Prefecture. Unsatisfied with the chairs available on the market Takeshi set out with the aim to "make a chair like the curry rice everybody loves". That is to say, an everyday chair that would be reasonable priced, well constructed with a beautiful shape and relaxing comfort in mind.
