In the 1950s, Artifort blazed the trail of innovative design with the Congo and Penguïn chairs designed by Theo Ruth. Niloo is following in its predecessor's footsteps by applying the same technique that involves two elements seamlessly fitting together. Through this fully upholstered design, Artifort is paying tribute to their history while setting its sights on the future. Designer Khodi Feiz explains: '”For me, Niloo is all about the synergy of practicality and comfort. Imagine having to haul a chair up three flights of stairs or consider the space-saving attributes during transport. With the Niloo, when component parts slide together, a simple chair emerges, almost iconic in image.” The innovate design consists of two separate base elements that, when fit together with forked ends, are held together by gravity.

Khodi Feiz is an industrial designer who was born in Iran and grew up in the USA. A graduate of Syracuse University in New York, he moved to the Netherlands in 1990 to work together with graphic designer Anneko Feiz-van Dorsen, where they specialize in the fields of product design, furniture design, graphic design, and strategic design for companies such as Alessi, Artifort, Hernam Miller, Offecct, Nike and Nokia. Feiz's work has received numerous international design awards and has been featured in exhibitions and publications worldwide. Khodi Feiz on Artifort: "In a way, I like to see Artifort not as a company in the business of making furniture, but in the business of making history. I strongly believe in lasting relationships where designer and producer have time to understand each others' potentiality. This is true now more than ever as progress is measured in fleeting instances as opposed to depth and quality. It is precisely this relationship Artifort has neutered throughout the decades starting with legends such as Pierre Paulin, Kho Liang Ie, and Geoffrey Harcourt, and still continuing today with talented contemporary designers like Patrick Norguet, Jasper Morrison, and Richard Hutten."
