bensen u turn club chair
Design Niels Bendtsen, 2013
Molded foam, steel frame, metal base
Made in Italy by Bensen
U Turn is a modern evolution of the familiar club chair archetype. Its sophisticated form allows it be used in a wide variety of aesthetic environments from traditional to the most modern, and is suitable for contract use.
Its most distinctive visual element is the seat under-cut which provides foot space for greater ease when getting out of the chair. The generously scaled seat, back support, and luxurious seat cushion achieve superb comfort while occupying a surprisingly small footprint.
U Turn sits upon a discrete circular metal base that rotates smoothly through 360°. An internal steel frame and injection molded foam create engineered comfort and a tailored appearance.
