The S-Chair Tom Dixon is an iconic piece that embodies its name with a smooth S-shaped structure that instantly catches the eye. The construction is simple yet ingenious, featuring a base of dark lacquered metal and a wickerwork seat and backrest. The chair is 50cm wide, 102cm tall, 42cm deep and has a seat height of 47cm. With a compact 11kg weight, it is easy to pick up and move around to accommodate unexpected guests or change between seating areas during the day. The organic materials and muted colour palette lend to the chair’s versatility; it can be used in any indoor space, from living rooms to hallways.
