Sneak preview - Addition JS . THONET

The collaboration between Jil Sander and Thonet is based on a shared understanding of timeless design, quality materials and precise craftsmanship. “Jil Sander’s fashion designs have always been synonymous with understated, elegant luxury – timeless pieces to last a lifetime, just like furniture from Thonet,” adds Norbert Ruf, Creative Director at Thonet. “Our aim is to create lasting value with our products.” This approach shapes the entire JS . THONET collection, which in future includes the S 64 and S 32 cantilever chairs, the S 1070 table, the S 411 armchair and footstool and the B 97 sidetable. All of these products are available in both the SERIOUS and the NORDIC lines.

S 411 lounge chairs in the SERIOUS and NORDIC lines

With the launch of a new version of the S 411 lounge chair in the SERIOUS and NORDIC lines Jil Sander and Thonet have added another iconic tubular steel classic to their JS . THONET signature collection. This inviting piece pairs perfectly with the B 97 nesting table set, released in 2025, to create a harmonious arrangement ideally suited to residential and contract-sector lounge spaces. Jil Sander’s take on this classic chair draws on a nuanced colour and material concept paired with minimal stitching detail, elevating the design to create a piece of exceptional elegance.

S 1070 tables in the SERIOUS and NORDIC lines

With the launch of the S 1070 table in the SERIOUS and NORDIC lines Jil Sander and Thonet have extended their JS . THONET signature collection, which was first unveiled in 2025. This latest design complements the German fashion designer’s interpretations of Thonet’s tubular steel classics, staying true to the collection’s lines, materials and colour schemes. Jil Sander’s sensitive approach highlights the quality of the original, acutely minimalist table design through her use of special metal finishes and strong, refined colours for the tabletops.

The luxury of the JS . THONET collection is not found in how it carries itself but in the exceptional quality of the materials, attention to detail and the superior craftsmanship. Their absolute timelessness and lasting value make these quality designs true investment pieces. As an exclusive detail of the signature collection, all products also feature a beautifully engraved “JS . THONET” inscription on the tubular steel frame, highlighting the premium value and authenticity of each piece.

In her design approach, Jil Sander sees herself as closely aligned with the Bauhaus philosophy and with Marcel Breuer in particular. “It was important to Marcel Breuer to combine industrial techniques and components with attractive, high-quality traditional materials such as leather, wood and tubular steel. He strove to reconcile avant-garde aesthetics with an appreciation for comfort. This approach showed foresight and makes all the difference on the market today.” Like Breuer, Jil Sander also attaches great importance to comfort, precise workmanship and intuitive usability for modern lifestyles. This interplay of industrial design and warm, tactile materials is the artistic foundation of the JS . THONET collection.
