Sofas, sectionals, armchairs and more.
Moroso Saruyama includes sculpted upholstered seating by Toshiyuki Kita with rising backs and sloping surfaces.
The original design combines three freestanding molded forms into a broad island. Saruyama Island develops the landscape into chairs, settees, sofas and footstools using padded steel structures with wooden bases on stationary pieces. Fixed covers follow the curves, while a separate small Giro chair offers a swivel steel base alongside the fixed configurations.
Toshiyuki Kita has worked between Japan and Milan since 1969. His practice combines industrial product design with projects that support traditional Japanese craft. Alongside designing objects, he has participated in design education and advisory work connecting manufacturers, craftspeople and public institutions.
