The quintessential cantilever chair – an update for high-backed classic Jolly by Jan Armgardt, which is still the most successful chair in the Wittmann collection ten years after it first appeared and received the Red Dot Award. With its harmonised proportions and flowing lines, Jolly is the archetypal contemporary wing-backed chair.

Concetto
Jan Armgardt’s design satisfies the natural desire for the trusted high back with a suggestion of wings. Jolly is a piece of frniture that is redolent of solidity and security, refuge and protection. The hint of a shell shape combined with the coordinated radii and sloping lines strengthen this impression, and create a coherent whole. At the same time, the small dimensions and the cantilevered version are at one with modern lifestyles, and result in a certain lightness. The swivel base extends the range of potential uses.
Jan Armgardt has successfully married tradition and modernity in a piece that is a classic, yet thoroughly contemporary. As always, special attention has been paid to careful stitching and craftsmanship.
For this model, Wittmann was awarded the Red Dot Award 2006 for product design.

Jan Armgardt Prof.
Germany
»Furniture fashioner« is what Jan Armgardt calls himself. And furniture stood at the beginning of his professional career: Armgardt, born in 1947, was apprentice to a furniture builder. After this training he studied interior decoration before returning to the practical side of furnishing, working for upholsterers, welders and joiners. With this solid craftsman´s basis Armgardt founded in 1971, together with a partner, »Workshop Design« and then »Armgardt´s Folding Furniture«, both of them companies which designed and marketed component furniture. Since 1974 Armgardt has been a self- employed designer. Besides his interior designs, his experimental activity has also found recognition. Naturally, here too furniture plays a central part, as with the paper furniture for »Human Touch« or the interior for the world´s most famous doll: it was Armgardt who created »Barbie´s New Livingroom« for the project »Artists and Designers Form Barbie«. He has been guest professor at Aachen technical college since 1998. [source: www.wittmann.at]
