“Form follows feeling” – this is the creed that Hella Jongerius adheres to in her design work. Indeed, “The Worker” is appealing thanks to its unusual interplay of hand craftsmanship and technology.

The seat and backrest come with different cover fabrics, with textures and colours carefully developed and combined to complement each other. Material: solid oak frame and armrests, cast aluminium armrest bridge; seat and lumbar cushions: polyurethane foam and polyester batting, backrest cushion: cushion with microfibre filling.
