Details
The FS-Line was designed by Klaus Franck and Werner Sauer for German maker Wilkhahn in 1980, and its one-piece, highly flexible seat shell became a milestone in dynamic seating. The shell has a flexible middle zone, so it gives and moves with you as you shift position, rather than holding you still.
The 212/5 is the cantilever version: a chrome tubular steel frame with black polypropylene armrests and a gentle spring as you sit back. These were re-covered by Wilkhahn Asia Pacific in December 2011 in Kvadrat Skifer 2, a textured wool weave in grey and cream. The chairs stack for storage.

Design Story
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.
