Wilkes Armchair

Reintroducing a classic that is versatile, inviting and devilishly confident.

Designed by Ray Wilkes and first introduced in 1976, this fun, eye-catching seating group made a lasting impression. We’ve updated the basic post-modern design with strength and material choices, keeping everything the same, from the injection-molded foam cushion construction to the integrated table option.

Scalable and Appropriate

Whether you want to inspire collaboration in a cozy office setting, make a statement in your living room or enliven a student union, the Wilkes Modular Sofa Group hits the mark. It comes in a variety of configurations, from a single chair to a six-seater sofa, and with the beauty of modularity, you can specify a table instead of a seating unit anywhere along the way. A power option offers additional functionality.

Built for Comfort

Comfort starts with geometry – especially the 105-degree angle of the seat and back. The steel brackets joining the seat and backrest are flexible enough for each back section to flex independently, providing a surprising level of individual comfort. The final factor? Cushions with rounded edges that resemble the shape of Chiclet gum and never “puddle” or lose their shape.

Modern Versatility

For upholstery, you can go full PoMo with bright solids or add a completely different touch with a textile from Maharam. Its distinctive silhouette combined with versatile upholstery options make it adaptable to a wide range of architectural styles.
