The name Nightfly was inspired by the mood of the album “The Nightfly” by American musician
Donald Fagen. Recorded in 1982, the marvelous sounds of this fine album conjure up the mood of its
time to this day.
With a backrest of wood, it has little of the air of a lounge chair, but like the Zepher chair, the gently
curved lines of the rear legs and stiles, and the long arms that extend in a circular arc from the
stiles create the look of a lounge chair for leisurely adult relaxation. A marked feature of this chair
is its substantial depth, but the design is firmly focused on practicality by carefully positioning the
backrest for comfortable support.
To successfully perform the joining methods applied to the various parts and meet the exacting
specifications demanded for the agodashi joins, all the skill of our artisans and their characteristically
Japanese dexterity and perseverance are necessary. For this reason, all the artisans at our
production facility play an important part in the creation of this chair.
