JENS CHAIRS

Antonio Citterio 2017 Chairs


Jens is a collection of chairs – with or without armrests – and stools featuring a typical 1950s style yet also interpreting classical Chinese chairs in a contemporary key.

Rediscovering the craftsmanship of turned and curved wood, the result is a five-axis frame in a variety of wood finishes. Jens collection includes numerous versions: entirely in wood, with wooden frame and leather seat, with wooden frame and thick leather seat and back, with wooden frame and seat in woven cellulose rope.
