Iso-Lounge, 2021
Iso-Lounge by Jasper Morrison for Isokon-Plus.
The result of the first collaboration between Isokon Plus and the renowned British designer Jasper Morrison, the Iso-Lounge is a modern chair that offers unmatched strength, support and comfort.
Featuring a sleek cantilevered design manufactured from engineered plywood, the chair was developed over a period of 18 months. Though seemingly simple in form, the design challenges the properties of plywood as a material.
Plywood is made of multiple sheets of thin wood veneer glued on top of the other, with the grain of each layer going in different directions resulting in an incredibly strong and stable structure. In the case of the Iso-Lounge chair, the plywood layering is reduced in some areas to allow the chair to flex while adding extra layers in areas where the chair required extra strength and resilience increasing the chair’s responsiveness to the user.
Jasper Morrison and the Isokon Plus team also experimented with the orientation and thickness of the veneer layers. This detailed technical development allowed Morrison to create a slim and sleek silhouette that is incredibly strong.
