AÏKU is the new collection of chairs designed by Jean-Marie Massaud, both for home and contract spaces. AÏKU comes from the Japanese word “haiku and it means a short poem generally composed of three verses. Wonderful poems that in a few words express remarkable meanings, a simple poem, with no lexical frills and conjunctions, taking its strength from suggestions. Due to its incredible shortness, it requires a considerable synthesis of thought and image. The meaning and the sound of this word reveal the project's concept, to reconcile the paradoxes of uses and sensitiveness. AÏKU can be radical, but at the same time is a refined architecture designed for domestic environments, as well as offices and public spaces.
The Aiku stacking chair is a practical yet sleek choice for modern dining spaces, thanks to its minimalist design and neutral colour palette. I love how it easily blends into both contemporary and Scandinavian interiors, adding a touch of understated elegance. The metal round legs give it durability, making it suitable for high-traffic areas or commercial settings, while the stacking feature offers easy storage. For styling tips, pair it with a simple wooden or glass table to highlight its clean lines, and consider mixed material settings-like concrete or textured fabrics-to create a layered, inviting look. This chair works well in both casual eating areas and more formal dining rooms, especially when you want a versatile piece that can adapt to changing tastes and needs.
