What is NychairX?

What is NychairX?

Since its release in 1970, the Nychair X has been manufactured in Japan for over 50 years and has many fans overseas. It has a simple design, a folding chair. However, it gives you a sense of security when you lean your body against it, and you won't get tired even if you sit for a long time. It can also be used as a chair for reading or watching movies and TV dramas on a video site. When used with an ottoman, it is so relaxing that you will fall asleep without realizing it.

In addition, the distinctive armrests are made of natural wood, and the fabric is made in Japan, so we are particular about not only the manufacturing location but also the materials. Even now, more than 50 years later, the Nychair X is a long-lasting classic chair that is loved by many people of all ages and genders.

Three points to continue being loved

Enjoy it in just one tatami mat
More comfortable than a sofa
Folds up and stands on its own for easy storage in tight spaces

The Knee Chair X and Knee Chair X Ottoman together occupy only about one tatami mat when folded, so you can enjoy it as a sofa even in a small room. When you sit back and lean your back against it, it feels like your body is being wrapped around you, rather than like a chair, and it feels like you are in a hammock. When not in use or when cleaning, you can fold it up to about 15 cm so that it can be stored in a gap, which is very convenient.

Commitment to Japanese quality manufacturing

The simple, beautiful and functional design, which is based on Japanese origins such as living environments and can be placed anywhere, and the quality and comfort that can only be achieved through products made in Japan, are still highly regarded and loved around the world even now, more than 50 years later.

Designer Takeshi Arai
Inheriting designer Takeshi Arai's belief that "a chair should be comfortable to sit on, inexpensive, and useful like a tool," the company has consistently produced its products domestically.

Fabric sewing


The removable seat (fabric) is carefully sewn by craftsmen and is made of a durable fabric specially woven in Japan. It comfortably supports the weight of the entire body and the structure of the chair.

Pipe frame processing and assembly


The seat, which is an integrated backrest and seat, is supported by a pipe frame. The Knee Chair X is simply constructed, with bending pipes and other processes, and therefore requires high manufacturing techniques.

Armrest processing


The manufacturing process for parts such as armrests has been consistently carried out domestically (in Japan), inheriting Takeshi Arai's belief that "a chair should be cheap, comfortable to sit on, and useful like a tool."

The seat height of the Nychair X is the lowest in the Nychair X series, providing a stable and comfortable seating experience. You can sit deeply and firmly on the chair, making it an ideal personal chair for resting or watching TV. When used in combination with the ottoman, you can enjoy an even deeper rest.
