Jill
Name / Jill
Designer / Alfredo Häberli
Manufacturer / Vitra
Jill is inspired by the beginnings of laminated wood shaping and re-explores the limits of this technology: using a patented process, the laminated sheets are twisted like a ribbon until they meet one another in the seat. This produces an open, flexible shell in the transition between seat and backrest that supports the body with remarkable comfort.
The frames of Jill to an extent also pay homage to historic precedents, yet lend the chair a contemporary expression – especially their colours which complement the optionally available fabric coverings.
