Rethinking Work Through the Project

A workspace is shaped by relationships, movement, and possibilities that evolve over time. For NII, work is not defined by function alone, but understood as a shared and evolving experience.

Born within ITOKI—a company that has spent more than a century observing how professional environments change—NII makes its first appearance outside Japan at Salone del Mobile.Milano 2026. Presented at Hall 22, Booth A27, at Rho Fiera, the brand enters an international conversation on how workspaces can operate as open, living systems rather than fixed settings.

The project grows from ITOKI’s long-standing vision, We Design Tomorrow. We Design Work-Style, translated by NII into its first collection of four product families—each shaped by a distinct design voice and a shared curiosity about how people move, meet, and work together.

AMDL CIRCLE, led by Michele De Lucchi, explores the workplace through layers and micro-architectures, where furniture becomes spatial structure. In contrast, Todd Bracher, Rodolfo Agrella, and CRÈME introduce a more fluid language—one rooted in gesture, interaction, and reconfiguration.

Across the collection, the idea of Ingenious design takes form: systems that do not dictate use, but invite it. Modular elements, adaptable surfaces, and scenographic compositions support collaboration and encounter, allowing work to unfold without rigid boundaries.

Under the creative direction of Hirotaka Tako, NII builds on ITOKI’s principle Tech × Design Based on People, approaching design as a research process—one that listens first, then responds. Furniture becomes a framework for behavior, open enough to adapt as relationships and needs shift.

“We don’t begin with how furniture should be used,” Tako reflects. “We start from how people naturally come together in a space. Design is about creating the conditions where communication and imagination can emerge.”

NII’s debut at Salone del Mobile.Milano marks the beginning of an ongoing journey—an open spatial narrative where work returns to interaction, relationship, and presence.
