Description:
Designed in 1980 by Takeshi Nii, the iconic and award-winning Nychair X 80 is having a global re-launch and is makings its North American re-launch debut exclusively at the Tortoise General Store. A riff on the classic director's chair but with a lower center of gravity for a comfortable and relaxing sit, the X 80 features a beautiful, high-quality cotton canvas seat and beechwood armrests that fold up effortlessly into a stationary upright position. The minimalist style and efficient portability with its lightweight and compact frame means you can easily move the chair from room to room or enjoy many different sceneries and spaces. Made for indoor-use only, we recommend using these chairs outside only for short periods of time to avoid sun-bleaching and damage. Be sure to also check out other Nychair designs like the Nychair Ottoman and the Nychair X Rocking, for the complete Nychair experience!
