In the 1940s, Charles & Ray Eames opened up an entire universe of possibilities for the design world with their breakthrough success in the three-dimensional moulding of plywood. Some seventy years later, the new universal chair Jill takes up this manufacturing technique and probes the present-day boundaries. Paying homage to the Eames design, the chair sets new standards made possible by subsequent technological developments. Using a patented process, the cut edges of the ash, oak or walnut veneer are drawn together, bending and flexing the shell until they meet in the middle of the seat. An opening remains in the angle between seat and back, with the thickness of the plywood tapering towards the top of the chair. This gives Jill its remarkable degree of flexibility and comfort, which is unexpected from a wooden seat shell.
The bases (Wood, Fourstar and Tube) imbue the chair with a contemporary look. Optional padded seat covers provide for even greater comfort. Snaps on the underside of the seat allow for easy removal and reattachment of the seat covers.
