# Sustainably Strong Seating The ON Chair by Jasper Morrison is Sturdy By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-04-11 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jasper-morrison References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/design/on-chair-jasper-morrison-andreu-world-04-09-2014/) & [jaspermorrison](http://www.jaspermorrison.com/html/index.html) The ON Chair by Jasper Morrison presented at the Salon Del Mobile 2014 is [simplistic in look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/john-pawson-and-herman-miller), but upon closer inspection it's clear that subtle nuances were used to keep this piece of seating around for a while. The designer used "the application of a special joint technique...conceived for making the junctures stronger, while creating a much lighter profile," according to DesignBoom. The result is a chair that can stand the test of time, and won't rip apart just because the owner likes to lean back on a daily basis. The material used for the chairs include plywood and beech wood, along with a cushioned area for the bum and back. Buyers also have the option of purchasing one with or without armrests from Jasper Morrison.
