Chair Jens -B&B Italia - Design by Antonio Citterio

Jens

“A memory chair that takes you back to the 1950’s, made by numeric control machines. A wooden structure in forms that work on five axes, combined with visible, seamless leather supported by the structure.

This design recalls several historic models: from the nineteenth century “shaker” chairs to the 1950’s-style chairs, all the way back to memories of the Ming dynasty.”

Antonio Citterio interprets the classic design of Chinese chairs in a contemporary key, rediscovering the craftsmanship of turned and curved wood, added to leather to make seats and backs that enhance the design.
