Jil Sander has stepped off the runway and into your living room. For her first-ever furniture collaboration, the legendary German designer teams up with Thonet to reimagine one of the 20th century’s most iconic chairs: the S 64 cantilever by Marcel Breuer. The result? The JS . THONET collection—a high-design, limited-run series that fuses Bauhaus roots with Sander’s signature minimalist elegance.

Available in two distinct lines—SERIOUS and NORDIC–each piece is a masterclass in materials and form. Picture a grand piano’s gloss, the patina of vintage British car leather, or the cool matte of nickel silver. Sander’s inspirations translate into refined tubular steel frames, rich lacquered wood accents, and upholstery options in supple leather or classic Viennese cane. The centerpiece remains the S 64 chair, now imbued with modern elegance and engraved with Jil Sander’s signature—literally. The furniture isn’t just updated—it’s transformed.

The collection also includes a rework of the B 97 side table from 1933. Designed with function and flow in mind, it complements either design line, offering a perfect pairing of historical relevance and contemporary refinement.

This isn’t furniture—it’s fashion for your home. Each detail whispers craftsmanship, and each silhouette makes a statement—the JS . THONET collection is where iconic form meets modern soul, proving that true style is as timeless in furniture as it is in fashion.
