Frequently Asked Questions

Who designed the Jot chair?

The Jot was designed by Giotto Stoppino, a key figure in Italian rationalist and modernist design whose work frequently explored the expressive and structural potential of industrial materials such as steel and chrome.

What is rawhide leather and how does it age?

Rawhide is untanned, minimally processed hide that retains the natural grain and stiffness of the original skin. Over time it develops a personal patina, softening slightly with use while maintaining its characteristic texture and pale, undyed tone.

How does the Jot chair relate to Bauhaus design?

The cantilevered tubular steel frame is a direct continuation of the Bauhaus tradition pioneered by Marcel Breuer and Mies van der Rohe in the late 1920s, which celebrated the structural and aesthetic possibilities of bent steel tubing in seating.

Is the Jot chair suitable for contract or hospitality use?

The Jot is produced by Acerbis to Italian manufacturing standards and can be specified for contract environments. Lead times and project quantities are best discussed directly with a design expert.

How should a chrome tubular frame be maintained?

Chrome frames should be wiped with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. Avoid abrasive cleaners, which can scratch the plated surface and diminish its reflective finish over time.
