Jens chair is designed by Antonio Citterio for B&B Italia with solid wood frame and a seat available in wood, woven cellulose cord, or a veneered plywood panel with shaped polyurethane padding upholstered in leather.
The Jens seating collection is a sophisticated tribute to the design sensibilities of the 1950s, reinterpreted through a refined contemporary lens. Inspired by the essential, harmonious lines of traditional Chinese chairs, the series stands out for its perfect balance between aesthetics and function, artisanal tradition and technical innovation. Each piece is crafted through a rediscovery of turned and curved woodwork, precisely executed using modern CNC technology. The result is a structure that is both sturdy and lightweight, defined by five key solid wood elements available in various finishes, including oak and wenge.
The Jens chair comes in a wide array of versions—from fully wooden models to those with leather or woven cellulose seats, and even options with the backrest also upholstered in leather (SJ61B), highlighting the project’s meticulous attention to detail and rich materiality. The collection also includes an armless version (SJ51B), offering versatility for diverse settings, from home dining areas to contract environments.
In 2019, the range was further expanded with the addition of the Jens stool, which carries forward the collection’s stylistic codes, offered with a seat in either wood or woven cellulose cord.
