This stackable chair is sturdy and stable thanks to a clear design and a smart wood construction. Both the backrest and the seat are made up of facets that give the chair a unique silhouette and at the same time improve seating comfort.
The frame provides so much stability that the chair can be exposed to extremely high loads according to NEN-EN 16139 level 2. Something that is quite special for a wooden chair!
The chair is available with a colored HPL top layer (as shown here) or in an upholstered version made with Kvadrat fabric and is suitable for both project-based use and residential Applications.
The HPL version of the ‘s-Chair is available in three standard colors. Other colors are also possible on request.
This chair belongs to the ‘s-Table and has the same unique combination of solid oak with plywood and HPL as the table from the series. Of course, the chair can also be combined very nicely with other design tables!
TIP: Discover the story behind our products, read the interview with designer Jeroen Wand on our blog.
The 's-Chair was designed by Jeroen Wand. Jeroen originally designed the chair for the education room of the Stedelijk Museum 's-Hertogenbosch (hence the 's-). With his studio in Eindhoven, 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.
While other furniture often opts for a single type of wood, Jeroen has used a quirky combination of solid oak and plywood parts here. This gives the chair an uncomplicated but rich look that fits in with various interior styles. You can also find the same combination of materials in the matching ‘s-Table from the same series.
The HPL top layer provides color, but is also a multi-functional and durable material. HPL is the abbreviation for High Pressure Laminate. An HPL sheet consists of a wood fiber or paper core and two top layers that are compressed together under high pressure and at a high temperature. This creates a very dense, hard and dimensionally stable sheet. The material does not retain dirt and is easy to clean. HPL is durable because it has a very long lifespan.
