The popular Jiro is now available in a bar or counter stool variation. The Jiro’s standout feature is the flexible plywood backrest, which provides dynamic support across multiple seating positions. It is available with natural or black oak veneer finishes, paired with a footrest and a 4-star black steel base. The steel base, combined with the finely balanced oak veneer and plywood construction of the back rail, provides responsive ergonomics in a visually striking spare design. “The brief from Resident was to design 'something simple, not overly technical, but subtly ergonomic'," said Tree. "From the beginning we focused on paring back the design, so all that existed were the essential elements."
