NAGI is a high-backed chair for the home or office. Great both for recreational and professional purposes, it brings a sophisticated air to spaces in a comfortable way. Overall, the high-backed chair has a minimalist aesthetic that allows it to fit in effortlessly as well. Yet it is its curvy shape that will truly catch people's eyes.
Designed by Tomoya Tabuchi for Viccarbe, the high-backed chair is a representation of the Japanese word NAGI, which means 'calm waters.' It doesn't seem that far-fetched that as soon as a person sits on it, they will feel as though they have set sail on a still body of water. Made out of calibrated steel that is covered in customizable fabric, it can come in fixed or rocking options.
