Stretch your legs and lie down or sit. The headrest can be moved freely, and the colored covers on each part can be switched as easily as changing clothing and washed at home, lending this piece a high degree of originality.
CEREMONY SPACE, 1986
Ohmukai-Koshudo, Japan
Exhibited in 1987 as an invitation piece at the 10th anniversary of Centre Pompidou in Paris. This two-mat space is made from lacquered wood pillars and tatami mats, meaning it is constructed entirely of plants. Displayed as a memory of the culture of tatami and culture of the heart, it is a 1.8 cubic meter universe unto itself. Sitting inside it is somehow calming and allows the viewer to keenly experience a meditative space.

SARUYAMA, 1967
Moroso, Italy
Cassina, Italy
Permanent collection of Museum of Modern Art, New York
A table that runs to you when you whistle - that was the image in the Kita’s mind when he designed this low table. KICK was designed to go with the WINK chair. It is a work based on Toshiyuki Kita’s memories, having conceived the idea for the table at the development office of Cassina, made a full-scale freehand drawing there and then started on the prototype right away. The work piece was selected as a collection piece by the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) when released. The tabletop can be moved up and down or rotated as required. Thanks to its shape and function, the table was born with an expressive look made from an inorganic collection of materials.
MULTI LINGUAL CHAIR, 1992
Seville Expo
Permanent collection of Museum of Modern Art, New York
Centre Pompidou, Paris
A chair designed for the Seville Expo '92 Japanese Pavilion. The high-tech technology available at that time was used to create an organic form, with the intent of expressing both a futuristic feeling and a sense of intimacy. This work was consciously designed with the understanding that the Expo is a place to raise suggestions for the near future and to express what modern Japan is about.
