Wilkes Modular Sofa Group Chair
Designed by Ray Wilkes and first introduced in 1976, this eye-catching modular armchair made a lasting impression with bold, rounded-edge cushions that reminded people of the shape of Chiclet gum. Steel brackets joining the seat and back allow for independent flex that provides a surprising level of individual comfort.
- 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.
Materials: Steel support beam and brackets and an internal plywood frame with injection molded foam and your choice of fabric.
