JanJean
Refined and floating seat with active and passive sitting functionality
We have been able to expand our timeless design range with a new type of seat at 5x5: refined, light at the bottom but still ergonomic. The model is multifunctional with its active and passive sitting positions and the possibility to personalise. The adjustable back, the floating effect and the round shapes make it unique.
