Mikado Side Chair
Designed by Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby for Vitra, the Mikado Side Chair distills the duo's signature precision into a form that is as considered from behind as it is from the front. Full upholstery wraps every surface, and a discreet mechanism beneath the seat allows the backrest to flex with the sitter's movement, offering a natural, unforced recline.
Where the armchair version reads as an enclosed gesture, the side chair's rounded backrest opens at shorter sides, creating a lighter profile suited to dining and gathering contexts. The difference is subtle but deliberate, a shift in atmosphere rather than function.
Sustainability is woven into the chair's construction from the outset. The seat panel is cast from recycled aluminum, and the backrest shell is formed from post-consumer polypropylene. Covers are removable, and legs, available in wood or recycled aluminum, are replaceable, allowing the chair to evolve alongside its environment rather than be discarded.
