Suki Armchair by Toyo Ito for Driade, Italy, 1987

Creator: Toyo Ito - Driade
Offered by: Goldwood by Boris

Description
Designed by Toyo Ito in 1987 for Driade, the Suki armchair demonstrates the architect’s exploration of lightness, structure, and spatial perception translated into furniture form. Known primarily for his architectural work, Ito approached design with a sensitivity to transparency and layering, resulting in a chair that appears both constructed and immaterial. The interplay of linear elements and an open framework creates a sense of movement, characteristic of late 20th-century experimental design.

Produced in Italy by Driade, a company celebrated for its collaborations with leading designers, the Suki armchair stands at the intersection of architecture and industrial design. Its refined geometry and conceptual clarity place it firmly within the postmodern discourse of the 1980s, while its restrained materiality ensures lasting relevance.
