[New product] Released “torte U”, a new standard chair that is easy to use, comfortable and sustainable for everyone
An evolution of the long-selling classic chair, featuring simple, sophisticated styling and a natural color palette that blends in with any interior.
ITOKI CORPORATION (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Koji Minato) has launched the "torte U" in October 2022 as the successor to the torte R chair, which was released in 2010 and is now in its 13th year, with significantly improved design and sustainability.
The environment in which we work continues to change dramatically, and the places and methods we work in are becoming more diverse than they were a few years ago, and new values are emerging one after another. On the other hand, the importance of sustainable initiatives that do not place a burden on Planet environment is increasing day by day, and we have entered an era in which the way offices are built requires a major rethink.
The newly released torte U chair retains the compact size and Itoki's unique dual motion locking mechanism that were popular with the previous torte R chair, but has a significantly updated design to fit modern offices. Furthermore, by offsetting the CO2 emitted throughout the product's lifecycle from manufacturing to disposal, making it virtually carbon neutral, a new sustainable standard chair for the future has been created that can be used for a long time without putting a burden on the Planet environment.

advanced design
Up until now, office chairs have been mainly designed to show their functionality. However, work styles and working environments have become more diverse, and office interior design has changed significantly. The simple and sophisticated design of torte U was born out of this. The styling of the shell chair, all one-tone colors, undulating backrest pattern, and randomly appearing ceramic-like textures create a comfortable design that is smart and resonates with the senses.
Two types of CMF variations to choose from
natural color type
Available in 4 body colors and a carefully selected ceramic finish that blends well with organic interiors such as wood materials and plants. It has a noiseless design that is made of 100% recycled fiber fabric, legs, and casters in one tone.
Standard color type
The lineup includes black and white body colors that blend easily with office interiors such as tile carpets and system ceilings. You can choose from 10 colors of anti-viral treated fabric or 6 colors of leather.
Sustainable chair that is kind to the Planet environment
For all torte U models, we carbon offset the entire amount of measurable greenhouse gases emitted in each process of raw material procurement, production, distribution, disposal, and recycling.
In addition, the natural color type uses fabric made from 100% recycled fiber from discarded plastic bottles. Compared to virgin fiber, CO2 emissions during production are reduced by approximately 41%.
Furthermore, the back and seat cushions can be replaced and replaced, allowing the product to be used for a long time and contributing to reducing waste.
*What is carbon offset?
This is a system that uses carbon credits to compensate for the carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases (GHG) that we emit from our daily production activities.
