Shigeru Uchida (Interior Designer)

It is named after the Paramount Picture "Alfie" in 1965. Its theme song is also a famous jazz number with the lyrics, "What's it all about, Alfie?" This petal-shaped chair was created on the image of flowers blooming in a neutral space. This product is suitable for the space with high ceiling.

You can arrange these system-centered chairs in various ways such as round shape, oval shape, waved shape, and rectangular shape and others by combining four different shapes while they can be used as an individual chair. This product is suitable for a narrow hallway, irregularly shaped space, and high ceiling space and the like. This system is truly "just in time" for space. You can apply part of this Series to private space such as a reception room in the office.	Chairs in this Series were designed based on the image of "Side by Side," a famous jazz number with rhythmical tune. Its design was born from rhythmical and bouncing image. Connected chairs are mainstream products of this Series, but you can use them individually by placing them separately around a table as well.	"So in Love" was created by Cole Porter as a theme song of the musical "Kiss Me Kate" in 1948. It is a sweet love song with a line, "When I'm close to you, dear, the stars fill the sky c" Since the chairs in this Series can be freely combined, you can create various images by arranging the bench seats with three different shapes at your own choice. Also, free combination of chairs will create a form of communication between space and people. Larger size chairs in this Series were designed to create a landscape in a space.
