Toshiyuki Kita was born on 5 November 1942 in Osaka. In 1964, he graduated from Osaka University. In 1969, he moved to Milan, where he worked with Mario Bellini and Silvio Coppola, and in 1971 he opened his own studio there.
He designs furniture, lamps, domestic appliances and kitchen equipment. His best-known works include the Wink armchair, produced by Cassina since 1980 – with a steel frame, large ear-shaped headrests and colourful covers. He also designed, among other things, the Alto Basso table for De Padova and chairs for Moroso.
