JS . THONET – A personal interpretation by Jil Sander.
Jil Sander’s 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. For the SERIOUS line, Jil Sander worked closely with the Thonet Design Team to take the S 64 tubular steel classic and the B 97 table set to a new level, using glossy frames with a titanium-like appearance. The table set’s dimensions are reminiscent of Marcel Breuer’s B 9 nesting table. Its altered design, however, offers a practical advantage: the opening on one side allows the tables to be positioned over the edge of a sofa, armchair or bed. They can also be pushed into one another to save space. The tabletop is available in four different colours of high-gloss lacquer as well as a marble version in the colour nero marquina gloss. These luxurious reinterpretations have been created using a holistic approach, underscoring the exceptional design of the original while sensitively elevating every last detail. All pieces in this collection feature Jil Sander’s engraved signature on the frame.
