Wilkhahn
Modus Medium 287/7 swivel chair

Design: Klaus Franck, Werner Sauer, Wiege

Office / Contract furniture › Seating furniture › Visitors chairs

Office / Contract furniture › Seating furniture › Conference chairs

The chair with the distinct side apertures. Light, transparent, slender. The frame with stretch fabric gives the chairs the appearance of the flexible elasticity of a tent construction or a kite.

The elegant form is in fact the result of years of intensive functional studies: for Modus, Klaus Franck and Werner Sauer perfected the principle of automatic synchro-adjustment with torsion rods even further. All components can be dismantled individually and are designed for repair.

Form or function? Modus does justice to both design approaches.

Stackable cantilever chairs in 4 different versions - coordinated with swivel and visitor's chairs (with and without armrests)

Frame
Round steel tube frame, chromium-plated, matt chromium-plated or colour coated.

Seat
Seat shell in black polypropylene. Seat upholstery: one-piece moulded foam with cover. Exchangeable cover in leather or fabric.
