BITMAP challenges the way we think about lounge seating. Instead of dictating how people should sit or gather, it creates an open framework for exploration.

THE STAGE | NII sets the stage for energizing work.

With the concept of “Ingenious design,” NII is a furniture brand that transforms the office into an attractive and vibrant stage. Working closely with designers active in both Japan and around the world, NII develops innovative collections with quality, comfort and craftsmanship in every last detail. The ingenious designs are a source of energy and inspiration, creating magnetic spaces where people naturally gather, connect and inspire one another.

NII’s first collection features the work of four designers: architecture studio AMDL CIRCLE, led by Michele De Lucchi, Todd Bracher, Rodolfo Agrella and Jun Aizaki/CRÈME. With originally iconic and eye-catching designs for offices and public spaces, the products possess a flexibility that stimulates the user’s imagination. Other features include elements that nurture communication and modular designs, which can be adapted to a wide range of work environments.

For this exhibition, the collection will be presented at ITOKI DESIGN HOUSE AOYAMA, which is scheduled to open this autumn. Turning work into a form of entertainment, “THE STAGE by NII” will unfold in a venue designed by creative duo SPREAD, whose work extends from graphics to installations and is characterised by colour and concept. Within the space, black lines turn into stripes that stretch across the walls, floors and ceilings, combining with mirrors to transcend conventional visual boundaries, yielding a variety of new interpretations and meanings.
PIGNA is a modular system that reinterprets the wooden shingle, a distinctive element of AMDL CIRCLE's design language.
CONNEXA is a playful and poetic approach to gather around a table for sharing ideas.
PARLAMENTO is inspired by the sculptural forms and inviting comfort of 1970s lounge seating.
