Body Cantilever Chair — Wood

Body is a series of chairs designed by Sylvain Willenz for Sancal. The name refers to the backrest, which recalls the shape of a human body silhouette, in particular back and shoulders.
Made in ash wood, the several layers of moulded veneer give shape to a structure with organic, smooth, and simple lines, whether seen from the front, or form the back when stored. The uniqueness of singular wood exterior and its curvature create unique details for Sancal’s first “non” upholstered chair. The quotation marks make sense because Body is not only available in this finishing, as there are other ones.
Apart from its natural finish, it can be stained in all the colors. There is also an upholstered version; a practical padded textile cover has been created which can be easily removed or put on at any time. Both upholstered options are available in a wide range of fabrics.
It defines an entire seating program whose unique structure can incorporate various types of leg.
A new dimension with a lacquered metal sled leg has been added. This version can be joined with an ingenious connector, and stacked for storage, making it ideal for auditoriums.
Optionally, a writing tablet can be incorporated, made of ash veneered marine board.
Other leg options available are cantilever base, totally upholstered, wood, metal and a base with castors. The metal arms can only be attached to the seats with 4 wooden or metal legs.
In short, a new basic, elegant, sustainable and minimalist chair that works in all types of interiors thanks to its universal and customizable character.
