B 97 Side Table Set – SERIOUS Edition

1933–2023 | A Personal Interpretation by Jil Sander

Bauhaus Logic Meets Contemporary Precision

The B 97 Set – SERIOUS Edition by Jil Sander reinterprets Thonet’s iconic nesting tables from 1933 with a minimalist edge and sculptural clarity. This edition comprises two perfectly proportioned side tables with a cantilevered steel frame and glossy, monochrome surfaces – a timeless composition of rhythm and function.

Refined Materials & Five Distinct Finishes

The tubular steel frame is finished in high-gloss “Titan” lacquer, giving the piece a reflective, almost metallic quality. Each set is available in one of five distinct finishes:

– SERIOUS 01: Graphite Black lacquer on beech
– SERIOUS 02: Graphite Ruby Red lacquer on beech
– SERIOUS 03: Graphite Green lacquer on beech
– SERIOUS 04: Graphite Blue lacquer on beech
– SERIOUS 05: Nero Marquina marble with high-gloss polish

Functional Elegance in Two Nesting Sizes

The B 97 tables are designed to partially slide under sofas or beds, providing space-saving versatility. Their staggered heights and symmetrical form make them ideal as occasional tables or sculptural accents. The SERIOUS Edition highlights this original logic with minimalist discipline and modern surface treatments.

Timeless Design, Limited Edition

Jil Sander’s take on the B 97 celebrates the legacy of Bauhaus design while bringing in a sharp, editorial tone. This limited edition is crafted for collectors, aesthetes, and design minimalists alike – offering a strong yet subtle signature for curated interiors. Available in five meticulously finished versions, the SERIOUS Set is more than furniture: it’s modern heritage.
