Weary Press Can De-Stress in the World’s Best Massage Chair

January 15, 2008—The INADA Sogno massage experience debuts at the Las Vegas Furniture Market. Nearly half a century of Japanese innovation, technology and unparalleled success have contributed to the creation of this most premium, and never-before-seen, full-body massage chair. Integrating the absolute best in technology and design, Sogno is the massage chair to which all others will be compared.

 Sogno is the realization of INADA’s ultimate dream. It recognizes shiatsu point locations for over 100 body types, and every massage commences with an infrared body scan that faithfully identifies these central acupressure points.  Advanced robotics then mimic the hand movements of a HUMAN massage therapist, providing the widest range of variation and choreography in kneading, tapping, and sophisticated combination strokes. Sogno also introduces five new exclusive functions: full shoulder/neck air massage with neck traction capabilities, shoulder to fingertip arm massage, arching full body stretch, total relaxation Dream-Wave Technology, and a youth program designed for adolescents.

In Sogno, INADA combines this inspired technology with the design skills of Toshiyuki Kita, originator of many Cassina- and MoMA-featured works. The result is the best massage available packaged in stunning world-class styling.    

A complete dealer listing is online at www.inadausa.com.  INADA manufactures Japan’s best-selling luxury shiatsu massage chairs.  Founded in 1962, INADA introduced the world’s first automatic massage chair.  Since its inception, the company has designed and built therapeutic massage devices for home use. With sales outlets in over 60 countries, INADA is the leader in advanced research and development of massage-related technology and is the world’s largest massage company with nearly $250 Million in annual sales. In North America, INADA received “Innovation” awards at the Consumer Electronics (CES) show in both 2004 and 2005. In 2001, TIME Magazine awarded INADA with “Innovation of the Year”.

Escape the chaos of the market for a while and treat yourself to an experience like no other.  Come find the INADA Sogno in MGM Booth M1715.  Cliff Levin, President of INADA’s North American distributor, is available for interviews and demonstrations of Sogno.  Due to the anticipated interest in Sogno, it is recommended that members of the press contact us to set up appointments.
