In the heart of a modern design studio, a vision was brought to life: Toto, a chair that seamlessly blends form and function, artistry and practicality. The journey to create Toto began with a simple yet ambitious idea—to design a multi-purpose chair that could thrive in any space while making a bold visual statement.
The inspiration for Toto emerged from the desire to connect two opposites—geometric shapes that typically stand apart. The challenge was to marry the strength of a square with the fluidity of a circle. This experiment with geometry led to the creation of a chair where form meets function, and structure meets elegance, resulting in a design that is both practical and beautiful.
The design process started with the exploration of forms that convey strength, stability, and fluidity. Angular lines were chosen to represent precision and reliability, giving Toto a strong and sturdy foundation. These sharp angles create the backbone of the chair, crafting a sense of structure that feels minimalist yet powerful, ensuring that the chair is not only functional but also visually compelling.
However, the design didn’t stop with angular lines. To balance the rigidity of these sharp angles, graceful curves were introduced. These curves form the sweeping backrest, softening the overall aesthetic and adding a touch of refinement. This combination of clean, angular lines and smooth, flowing curves gives Toto its distinctive character, allowing it to stand out as both striking and versatile.
Toto is more than just a chair. It’s a statement piece that can transform any room, offering a unique blend of form and function. Whether placed in a minimalist living room, a chic office, or a cosy reading nook, Toto adapts to its surroundings with ease. Its duality—both structured and elegant—ensures that it not only serves its purpose but also elevates the space it occupies.
