The S chair was designed by Tom Dixon in 1988. After many prototypes using rush, wicker, old tyre rubber, papper and copper he finally profected his design and went to manufacturing by Cappellini Furniture in 1988. The S chair is now rapidly becoming a modern furniture icon with its unique twists and bends and ability to look modern and never date. It has a wide variety of materials that would suit just about any house hold or style. At first sight, though, the chair’s geometry and carriage seem unlikely to support the weight of a person; but the chair's snaking flimsy twisting shape belies its super tensile frame whose wonderful ergonomic shape affords both comfort and perfect posture.
