Mdf Italia - Aïku stool two-tone shell with pad

The Aïku family of chairs, inspired by the short and romantic Japanese poetic compositions (haiku), expands, also offering the stool version.

The stool Aïku, elegant, convivial and cool, is proposed with wooden base or with sled. The latter version is stackable, which makes the stool extraordinarily performing, confirming its dual nature, aesthetic and functional. The shell comes in all the options available for the seat, including the comfortable and enveloping padded version. Like the chair, Aïku Stool has also been designed for homes, restaurants - especially next to kitchen counters, bars or convivial areas - collective spaces. In the offices it is an ideal solution for the increasingly popular and fast and "standing" meetings of 4.0 companies, in shared spaces and a little less formal than meeting rooms.
