About this piece
A seated gesture traced in one continuous line. Designed and manufactured by Wilkhahn in Germany, this cantilever chair is built around a single looping steel frame finished in chrome, reading almost like a bent paperclip or a continuous sketch.
Developed for postwar European offices and institutional interiors, the springing base flexes subtly under weight, giving the chair its distinctive hovering posture. Black leather upholstery softens the geometry without disguising it, resulting in a piece that feels engineered, slightly eccentric, and deliberately composed—somewhere between furniture and diagram. Suited to boardrooms, studios, and interiors that favour intelligence over familiarity.
Dimensions: 52 cm W x 55 cm D x 84 cm H (Seat 51 cm H)

Design Story
Wilkhahn is one of the most respected names in modern office design, known for combining German engineering, ergonomic innovation, and minimalist aesthetics.
Founded in 1907 near Hanover, Wilkhahn began as a traditional furniture manufacturer before evolving into a pioneer of contemporary workplace design. In the decades following World War II, the company embraced modernism and developed a philosophy centered around functionality, movement, and long term quality.
Wilkhahn became especially influential through its focus on ergonomics and dynamic sitting. Rather than designing static office chairs, the company explored how furniture could support natural movement and improve wellbeing during long hours of work. This approach led to innovations like the Wilkhahn ON Chair, whose three dimensional movement system helped redefine modern ergonomic seating.
Unlike many corporate furniture brands, Wilkhahn placed equal importance on engineering and visual restraint. Its furniture often features clean architectural lines, premium materials, and subtle detailing that reflects a distinctly German approach to design: precise, intelligent, and understated.
Today, Wilkhahn furniture is found in executive offices, creative workspaces, and institutions around the world. The brand remains closely associated with the evolution of the modern workplace, where comfort, movement, and design are increasingly seen as inseparable.
