Local wood, local craft 

Solid wood from local, sustainably managed forests. Crafted in partnership with Amish woodworkers in neighboring Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

The name Kito stems from the Japanese word for wood, "ki". Given to a chair defined by its material, the name speaks to Fukasawa's design philosophy of simplicity and material honesty.

Kito's seat shape is inspired by vintage Emeco chairs that often share a similar generous, inviting form. Comfort and durability, in the warmth of solid wood.

Kito reflects Naoto Fukasawa's rare ability to make design feel inevitable. As if the chair has always existed.
