The Nychair X was designed in 1970 by Japanese designer Takeshi Nii. We have loved it since we first encountered one years ago in a friend's home, and it has been a perennial best-seller at Placewares since we introduced it in 2016.
A recipient of the Japan Interior Architects / Designers' Association Award in 1970, it also won the National Special Award for Innovation in 1982, the Good Design Award in 1986, and the Long Life Design Award in 1997.
Why so many awards? You need only sit in one to understand its appeal. The chair perfectly supports your weight, giving the experience of sitting in it a warm, enveloping quality.
It is also perfect for today's lifestyles as it fits into a floor space the size of a dinner table and can be collapsed and stored when not in use. It's lightweigh nature means you can carry it easily from room-to-room, or from indoors to outdoors.
The seats are removable for easy cleaning and are made from high-quality Kurashiki sailloth. The sailcloth used has been made in the same Japanese factory since 1888. We frequently sell replacement covers to our customers, many of whom are only having to replace the covers after decades of use (some dating back to the early '70's!).

Size Chart
Marimekko Sizing
Size charts can help you to determine your own size. When you order clothes, it is worth remembering that using a tape measure can help you to ensure that the clothes are a good fit. This will help you to avoid returning clothes unnecessarily. The pictures show where you should take measurements. The measurements on the size chart are fixed body measurements in inches. The measurements are for normal body shapes (the basis is the C measurement).
A – Collar: The collar size is measured by placing the tape measure around the neck and placing the index finger between the tape measure and the throat. This measurement dictates the shirt size.
B – Bust: The bust size is measured from the highest point of the bust when a bra is worn.
C – Waist: The waist size is measured around the narrowest part of the waist.
D – Hip: The hip measurement is taken from the broadest part of the hip.
E – Inside leg: The inside leg measurement is taken from the crotch to the floor. Please note that the inside leg measurement of trousers is often provided in the product description.
