Description

The added comfort and customization of an upholstered seat is featured in this variation of Jiro’s sleekly ergonomic workaday seating by John Tree. A concealed up-and-down swivel mechanism grant the chair a clean and minimal silhouette within the 4-star die-cast base—available with or without casters and in black or white. This, along with the finely balanced oak veneer and plywood construction of the back rail, provides responsive ergonomics in a visually striking spare design. “The brief from Resident was to design 'something simple, not overly technical, but subtly ergonomic',” observes the London designer. "From the beginning we focussed on paring back the design, so all that existed were the essential elements.” With New Zealand brand Resident, Lee’s result is a concentric scheme and low back to accommodate shifts in posture and invite active maneuverability. "It is clear that work isn't really occurring in the archetypal office anymore,” he presciently noted before the chair’s 2020 Spring release. "So the point of this chair is to address this modern need for utility.
