S-chair, 1991
S-chair by Tom Dixon for Cappellini.
The S-chair is an icon of contemporary design and can be found in many permanent collections around the world.
The original S-chair is upholstered with marsh straw, now it is available in wicker or with a fixed fabric cover.
“I have often been asked what the inspiration was behind the S-chair and, honestly, the only memory I have is of drawing a small doodle of a chicken … and thinking that I could make a chair from it.”
