Set of 6 1980’s tripod ‘Tacchi' chairs by Toshiyuki Kita for AIDEC Japan.
 
Born in Osaka in 1942 Kita’s designs have won International acclaim for both his adherence to sustainable design and his organic, almost faunal forms. As such he has designed for numerous International design houses including Cassina and Ligne Roset. Many of his works are on display at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich, and other museums around the world.
 
The Tacchi chair is very representative of Kita’s design ethos featuring non-anodized aluminium and an organic, flowing design using finger jointed bent beech wood. The aluminium structure finishes in ‘feet’ figures which are again part of his trademark styling of echoing the allusion of organic form in the shape of animal or bird like feet. 
 
The striking design of the chairs fits well with many contemporary, Mid-century Modern and 20th Century design styles and would sit comfortably alongside a round or rectangular glass or wooden table.
 
This rare set is in very good condition with just a few marks to the wooden structure and unmarked metal work and black upholstery. Each chair has an imprint of the designer’s initials in the seat back as shown in the photographs.
