Jean Gillon, 'Jangada' armchair and ottoman, rosewood, nylon rope, leather, Brazil, 1968
Jean Gillon a Brazilian designer from Romania had a rather original thought with creating the 'Jangada' armchair in 1968. By tightening a nylon net to the rosewood frame the leather cushions are lifted up in a rather airy way. The frame in rosewood provides stability so that the net is adjusting to the user. Extra comfort is given by the ottoman that features a leather cushion too.
