With the new "Yonda" shell chair range, Neunzig°design have adapted a former Wilkhahn bestseller to current and future requirements. This is a reinterpretation of a spacious shell chair originally designed by architect, university lecturer and furniture designer Georg Leowald in the 1950s. The name of the new furniture says it all: "Yonda" is derived from the preposition "beyond". The result is a series that is suitable for both living and working environments, with seat shells made of BioComposite. Making more from less is an important design principle. A shell chair like Yonda does that by fusing all the functions of the shell into one form," says Rainer Weckenmann of Neunzig°design about the concept. At the same time, the seat shell appears light and dynamic thanks to the cantilevered, forward-sloping and tapering armrests. Even when not upholstered, they offer pleasant seating comfort, which can be further enhanced by means of a felt pad, integrated seat cushion or complete inner cushion. If desired, the seat cushion can also be designed with a distinctive Y-shaped indentation that refers to the first letter of the program name.
