Jiro Swivel Chair
Description
Presciently, in approaching how to reinvent the task chair, London designer John Tree observed: "It is clear that work isn't really occurring in the archetypal office anymore...So the point of this chair is to address this modern need for utility.” With New Zealand brand Resident, Lee’s result is a concentric scheme and low back to accommodate shifts in posture and invite active maneuverability. The 4-star die-cast base—available with or without casters and in black or white—features a concealed up-and-down swivel mechanism to grant the chair a clean and minimal silhouette. Combined with the finely balanced oak veneer and plywood construction of the back rail, Jiro provides responsive ergonomics in a visually striking spare design. “The brief from Resident was to design 'something simple, not overly technical, but subtly ergonomic'," said Tree. "From the beginning we focused on paring back the design, so all that existed were the essential elements."
