Fashion designer Jil Sander reinvents Marcel Breuer’s iconic S 64 cantilever chair
German fashion designer Jil Sander is internationally renowned for her purist aesthetics. Her catwalk collections consistently featured striking cuts, exceptional material quality and an innovative approach. While she might have left the world of fashion behind, Sander’s creative spirit burns as strong as ever. As she explains: “Creativity is simply a part of my life.” Her collaboration with Thonet is her first foray into the world of furniture design. With the JS . THONET signature collection, she has taken the most famous tubular steel classics from the late 1920s and put her own stamp on them. “Design and architecture have always been a part of my life and I began designing at a young age,” says Sander. In her two lines, SERIOUS and NORDIC, the designer has reinterpreted the iconic S 64 cantilever chair, adding an extra touch of elegance and class – with high-gloss lacquered wood details, refined tubular steel frames, and seats and backrests made of Viennese canework or leather in a nuanced colour palette.
