Jake Chair - Work

Jake Chair — A Contemporary, Durable Seating Classic for Workspaces and Education Environments

The Jake Chair is a modern reinterpretation of the classic school chair — clean, functional, and built for contemporary interiors. Released in 2013 and proudly designed and manufactured in Australia, Jake brings a nostalgic form into today’s flexible workspaces, libraries, schools, and universities.

This versatile chair showcases Koskela’s commitment to sustainable, long-lasting design. The tubular steel frame is available in a curated range of Koskela powder coat colours, allowing for full design flexibility across projects.

The standard whitewashed plywood seat and backrest offer a natural, minimalist look, while an optional upholstered seat adds comfort and acoustic benefits in high-traffic or shared-use spaces.

Lightweight but robust, the Jake Chair is ideal for meeting rooms, learning areas, breakout zones, and collaborative tables. Its design is also geared for the long haul — the steel frame can be re-powder coated, and the plywood or upholstered elements can be replaced, ensuring the chair can be renewed and repaired to continue to extend it’s life.
