Der S-Stuhl erblickte in den 80er Jahren in Toms Londoner Werkstatt das Licht der Welt und dient als Vorbild für seine Geschwister, die noch heute von der legendären Möbelfirma Cappellini in Italien produziert werden.
"My slightly more successful designs seem to be ones that can be read in different ways, quite opposite to their original intent. If my original departure point for the S-Chair was a chicken, it has often been described by others as a female form." - Tom Dixon
Re-engineered to take account of the latest developments in manufacturing technology, the original three-dimensional form is now moulded in an industrial hard/soft foam with a pure new wool cover; the instantly recognisable serpentine curves are now more comfortable and ergonomically active than ever.
It now sits proudly on its steering-wheel inspired cast iron base.
Existing in a multitude of historic versions in the permanent collections of Museums from the MOMA New York to the V&A London the exciting adventures of ‘S’ look set to continue into the distant future. Read more about S-Chair here.
