AÏKU is the new collection of chairs designed by Jean-Marie Massaud, for both domestic and contract spaces.
AÏKU comes from the Japanese word "haiku," meaning a short poem, usually composed of three lines. These are marvelous poems that express remarkable meanings in just a few words; simple poems, devoid of embellishment and lexical conjunctions, drawing their power from suggestion. Due to their incredible brevity, they demand a considerable synthesis of thought and image.
The meaning and sound of this word reveal the project's concept: to reconcile the paradoxes of use and sensibility. AÏKU can be radical, yet at the same time, it is a refined architecture designed for domestic environments, as well as for offices and public spaces.

Attention to detail, formal elegance, and light, essential lines: all these characteristics combine naturally and harmoniously in the Achille armchair, designed by Jean Marie Massaud, which is perfect for both commercial and residential spaces. Subtraction, synthesis, and lightness: these armchairs also express, at their best, the stylistic research of the French designer, focusing on a concept of complete and enveloping comfort. The Achille armchair is so comfortable that it seems to mold to the body and envelop it in relaxation. These armchairs feature a fully removable fabric or leather cover, available in different variations and colors.

The Sign chair celebrates its anniversary by creating a striking new product with a strong personality. The new Sign Filo is a perfect blend of design and craftsmanship, crafted like a refined jewel. In fact, the chair's creative process is reminiscent of the ancient goldsmith's filigree technique, which involves interlacing and soldering fine wires of precious metals. Forty-five meters of steel wire in four different diameters create the silhouette of Sign Filo. Like a true jewel, the individual components of the product (16 shoulders and 12 crossed wires) are hand-assembled with over 226 sealing points. The artisanal aspect is far from secondary, evident in the assembly and electroplating phases, where the black chrome and gold colors highlight the uniqueness and care dedicated to each element, as if it were a genuine jewel. Sign Filo is made entirely in Italy using high-quality materials and production processes.

The single-material support structure is made of polyethylene (PE), molded using rotational molding technology. The exceptional strength of polyethylene and its easy maintenance make Sign Matt perfect for both indoor and outdoor use. A version with a drip hole is available for both the chair and armchair. The hole cover is white for the white and cement finishes, and black for the terracotta, navy, and corten steel finishes.

Taburete o mesa, al aire libre o bajo techo: Sag representa un complemento poliédrico y funcional. Las patas de las heces generalmente están diseñadas con elementos de ""columna"". Por el contrario, Sag ha sido diseñado como una pieza entera doblada sobre sí misma, como una tela suspendida en el aire y fundida en tres direcciones en una sola forma. Su estructura de arco cóncavo, así generada, le da a Sag su imagen suave y elástica especial, pero también una robustez increíble, capaz de distribuir fuerzas y absorber cargas." Estructura en poliuretano rígido, obtenida por moldeo, disponible en blanco mate y barro mate. El poliuretano utilizado, llamado TECH, es un material estructural y de alta densidad, lo que significa que es altamente resistente a los golpes, así como a los arañazos y al envejecimiento.

Jean Marie Massaud's latest creations were conceived for a functional and contemporary home, expressing a style and way of life in which formal simplicity does not exclude creativity, quality, innovation and a sophisticated aesthetic. The designer extends the Yale X project concept to the bedroom, again proposing Yale's signature softness and comfort for the headboard, as well as the refined aesthetic of the sofa support as a hallmark of the bed frame. The bed concept entails a welcoming headboard, offering optimal comfort for relaxing, reading, or watching television, along with a good mattress and a comfortable pillow. The bed is offered in two different versions, with a low headboard (h 90 cm) and a high headboard (h 103 cm), with fabric or leather upholstery, to meet different comfort needs and taste requirements.

The Aïku chair collection, inspired by short, romantic Japanese poems (haiku), is expanding to include stools as well. The latter is stackable, making the stool highly efficient and confirming its dual aesthetic and functional nature. The shell is offered in all versions available for the chair, including the comfortable, enveloping, padded model. Like the chair, the Aïku stool was designed for homes and restaurants; it is particularly recommended for kitchen counters, bars, meeting areas, and communal spaces. In offices, the Aïku stool is an ideal solution for the increasingly widespread habit of quick and permanent meetings in 4.0 companies, in shared spaces, a little less formal than meeting rooms.
