Bumper

by Ward Bennett

Inspired by classic tub chairs, Ward Bennett’s barrel-back design extends across nearly every application. One of the legendary designer’s best-known designs.

When designing a chair, designer Ward Bennett focused on comfort. With Bumper, that meant shortening the seat, honing the pitch, and integrating support into the backrest.
