The Jetson armchair with Jetson 69 footstool is a furniture combination from Swedish brand DUX designed by Bruno Mathsson. The armchair was first presented in 1969 at Nordiska Galleriet (NOGA) in Stockholm following three years of development. With its bowl-shaped seat and tall ergonomically designed backrest Jetson became a clear expression of Mathsson’s interest in comfort and modern design.
The armchair is characterised by its enveloping form and tall backrest with a matching neck cushion. The chrome-plated base has a swivel mechanism with a memory function that automatically returns the armchair to its original position after use. The combination of soft forms and a light metal construction gives Jetson its characteristic silhouette.
The matching Jetson 69 footstool complements the armchair’s design language and provides comfortable support for the legs. The footstool has a tubular steel frame with supporting fabric and a tufted cushion padded with polyether foam. The base is made of chrome-plated solid steel and echoes the armchair’s construction. Together they form a cohesive seating arrangement in which Bruno Mathsson’s focus on ergonomics and function meets an expressive design language.
