or Call to Order

The versa­tile Dodo lounge chair, designed by Toshiyuki Kita, converts from a reading chair to a chaise lounge, conve­niently cater­ing to the contem­po­rary needs of the home office and home theater. Thanks to its gener­ous padding, the Dodo lounge with a footrest conforms to the body’s shape, and it gets even better by adding fabric covers for a deeper sense of comfort. It reclines to nearly hori­zon­tal and is customiz­able with non-remov­able uphol­stery in leather or fabric and fabric over covers.
