2000. Design: Hugo de Ruiter
We would like to introduce you to Kikko, Japanese for tortoise. Kikko is not just any tortoise because, unlike others of his kind who tend to be a bit shy, Kikko loves people. Kikko is a “Moving Moments Seat” by designer Hugo de Ruiter, a seating concept for various occasions. Sitting or lying down, Kikko can accommodate both due to the special shape of the seat and the moveable backrest. If the backrest is parallel to the seat, Kikko offers you a pleasant seat, with an extra place next to you. The cleverly slanting backrest supports your back while, at the same time, offering a nonchalant arm support. If you prefer to relax completely, a simple turn of the hand adjusts the backrest, changing Kikko into a chaise longue.
Ever imagined a tortoise could be so comfortable?
Technical details
• The striking patchwork pattern in the seat reminds you of an enormous tortoise – hence the name!
• Kikko can be upholstered in a combination of maximum four upholstery materials.
• The legs and the back frame are chromium or lacquered in one of the Leolux lacquer colours.
• The backrest is infinitely adjustable through 180 degrees by gently lifting the back frame. As soon as you let go of the backrest or it is no longer under pressure, it locks again.
• The backrest is available in two versions: left high/right low or right high/left low.
