Olika (Orika chair)
This meeting chair has a plain and friendly styling that suits office spaces with casual interiors, and a nesting function that provides mobility and storage for versatile use of the space.
The wide variety of colors allows it to flexibly match a variety of interior designs. We are also particular about seating comfort, and the core material of the seat is a ``bending seat'' with slits created using our unique know-how, creating a soft seating experience. We pursue a balance between design, functionality, and price to match a variety of situations.
Designers: Haruhiro Ezure and Soma Fukaya, Product Design Department ITOKI CORPORATION
LINEA (Linea Chair)
A chair clad in soft knit with a sharp silhouette that draws lines in the space.
The single piece of knit fabric on the back provides a comfortable sitting experience that fits your body like a hammock. We have minimized the energy used in manufacturing by reducing the amount of plastic used and simplifying the manufacturing process. We have also established a material-saving and recyclable manufacturing process. It is a chair that can be continued to be made and used without worrying about Planet environment.

iwasemi-HXα
Innovative sound-absorbing materials that use science and technology to solve everyday problems.
The problem of reverberation is a constant in spaces surrounded by glass. The transparent sound-absorbing panel "iwasemiHX-α", which uses acoustic metamaterial design technology, is a sound-absorbing material that can be attached to glass. It reduces the reverberation of glass, creating a clear and quiet atmosphere in the office and making it easy to talk.
* iwasemiHX-α is a product jointly developed by Pixie Dust Technologies Inc. and ITOKI CORPORATION.
