's-Chair

This stackable chair is sturdy and stable thanks to a clear design and clever wood construction.

The frame provides so much stability that the chair can be exposed to extremely high loads according to NEN-EN 16139 level 2. Something quite special for a wooden chair!

Both the backrest and seat are composed of facets that give the chair a quirky silhouette while enhancing seating comfort.

Available with a colored HPL top layer or in an upholstered version made with Kvadrat fabric, the chair is suitable for both project use and residential applications.

Transparency of the production chain comes naturally to us.

For us, that doesn't just mean giving information about where something has been produced. Our chain starts much earlier: with the designer of the product!

We'll tell you the whole story. Click on the buttons to discover the different steps:

The 's-Chair was designed by Jeroen Wand. With his studio in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, he explores the raw, unpolished side of design, developing objects, products, installations and environments that encourage finding alternative forms of what is beautiful or pleasant.

Whereas other chairs often choose one type of wood, Jeroen used a combination of solid oak and plywood parts for the 's-Chair. This ensures that the chair has an uncomplicated but rich look that matches various interior styles.

The same material combination, by the way, can be found in the matching 's-Table from the same series.

The 's-Chair has been part of the Vij5 collection since 2014. Since Jeroen has his studio close to ours, we regularly get an early preview of his new projects. This stackable chair caught our attention because of its distinctive shape, colored surfaces and unique combination of solid oak and plywood.

Some designers are already very far along with a product when we get in touch with them. This was the case, for example, with the 's-Chair. Jeroen originally designed the chair for the education room of the Stedelijk Museum 's-Hertogenbosch (hence the 's-) and so had already developed the chair itself. Together we also developed an upholstered version. Here, in consultation with our upholsterer, we designed the upholstery so that it retained the same facets as the HPL version.

All plywood parts of the frame and the solid oak legs are produced in Meppel (NL) .

Then everything comes to designer Jeroen Wand 's studio & workshop in Eindhoven (NL) where the chairs are manually assembled.

The upholstered version of the chair is processed by our fixed upholsterer in 's-Hertogenbosch (NL).

In the material passport you can find where and by whom the different parts of this product are made.

"The 's-Chair is certified according to NEN standards for "Areas in which seating is incidentally or repeatedly exposed to extremely high loads because of their specific type of use or through improper use."

NEN-EN 1619 level 2

For the upholstered version, we use the Kvadrat fabric Rime. Rime is a wool furniture fabric that has a melange-like appearance when viewed from a distance. Each of Rime's colorways combines a bright tone with a hue. For some colorways, which combine similar hues, Rime appears unicolored. For others, where the contrast is stronger, the texture of the textile emerges much more clearly.

On request, other colors are also possible from the beautiful Kvadrat Rime series, this can be as little as 4 pieces!
