ray wilkes chiclet chair

Design Ray Wilkes, 1976
Steel, plywood, injection molded foam, upholstery
Made by Herman Miller

Playful design and serious comfort. Ray Wilkes designed this postmodern classic with playful curves and ample comfort. Originally introduced in 1976, the famous "Chiclet" sofa is engineered with injection foam molded cushions and a flexible steel frame.

A playful silhouette that appears to float. This postmodern design has been reintroduced in new fabrics and hues. Beautifully smooth contours give this piece a fluid, uniform appearance. Innovative injection foam molding technique creates smooth shapes with no waste.

Dubbed "Chiclet" due to its rounded-edge cushions that look like the classic gum. Steel brackets joining the seat and back allow for independent flex that provides a surprising level of individual comfort. Available in configurations from 1 to 3-seater. The geometry of the 105-degree angle of the seat and back provides a perfect pocket for comfortable sitting.

36.25" w | 30.75" d | 27.75" h | seat: 15.25" h | arms: 20.4" h | 5.9" w

Herman Miller was a West Michigan businessman who helped his son-in-law, D.J. De Pree, buy the Michigan Star Furniture Company in 1923. De Pree had been working at the company, which opened in 1905, since he was hired in 1909 as a clerk. De Pree knew his father-in-law was a man of integrity, so he decided to rename the company after him. By the middle of the 20th century, the name Herman Miller had become synonymous with modern furniture. Working with legendary designers George Nelson and Charles and Ray Eames, the company produced pieces that would become classics of industrial design.
