The 989 is known as the T-back chair because its flat-bar metal frame, viewed from behind, forms a literal T. Nothing about it is accidental or concealed: the exposed structure becomes part of the visual identity rather than something to work around. The upholstered cube appears to float inside the frame, a transparent quality that gives the piece its distinctive open, airy profile.

The loose cushions are generous for the scale of the chair: a poly-blend down seat and fiber down back that make this considerably more comfortable for extended sitting than its spare, architectural appearance suggests. The frame is available in a range of metal finishes from brushed bronze to satin brass to powder coat black, so the same iconic form can read industrial, warm, or classic depending on the room.
