Mikado Armchair
Mikado Armchair
DESIGNER | Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby
Serene yet with a commanding aura, the Mikado chair aims to impress not only by its form but also through its unparalleled comfort. 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 comfortably recline at a slight angle.
Mikado is available as an armchair or as a side chair. The sides of the rounded backrest do not extend as far forward on the Mikado Side Chair as on the armchair version. 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. Whether used for home dining tables, in restaurants or in meeting rooms, Mikado is ideally suited to any setting.
The covers of the Mikado chair are not glued and can be removed for cleaning or replacement. The legs may be replaced individually or exchanged for a different material option – wood or recycled aluminium - extending the chair's lifespan. The inner seat panel is made of recycled aluminium while the core of 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. And at the end of Mikado’s service life, all the parts can be separated for recycling or correct disposal.
