Canta armchair by Kita for Cassina

The "canta" k06 armchair is part of a group of three armchairs (aki biki and canta) designed by designer Toshiyuki Kita for Cassina in 2000. Its structure is in steel with PU protection, the removable covers are in fabric. The canta armchair has a movable armrest that can be used as a headrest. In the age of the home office and omnipresent technology. This armchair was designed to meet the needs of modern society both at home and in the work space. The objective was to create an adaptable living room thanks to a comfortable and dynamic armchair that could rotate 360 degrees. Condition: this armchair was available on a swivel base or on wheels, the model presented here is on a swivel base. The condition is very good with normal signs of use, slight discoloration on the armrests, slight wear to the fabric on the back, no holes or tears. The fabric has been cleaned by me. The cover is removable. The swivel foot works perfectly. Possibility of purchasing it in pair with the canta armchair (mythical armchair with removable armrest that transforms into a headrest). About the designer: born in Osaka (Japan) in 1942, the work of Toshiyuki Kita is essentially characterized by the use, research and revaluation of materials and manufacturing systems deriving 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 moma in new york. Kita's work has been the subject of numerous recognitions and exhibitions around the world.
