Kartell Ami Ami

Inspired by the way pattern and texture interweave in a fabric, the Ami Ami chair (its name in Japanese literally means "to weave"), was born of designer Tokujin Yoshioka's wish to reproduce one of the stylistic icons typical of his country - weaving. The simple squared off lines contrast with the richness of the weaving and this is achieved on the inner and outer surfaces through a complex industrial process which recreates the motif using a single mould. Ami Ami brings together the appeal of oriental culture and the use of innovative materials like polycarbonate and is available in two transparent versions - crystal and smoke, and in three matte versions - red, white and black.
