What Makes the Bonn Unique: Three Defining Features
1. The Double Padded Back Cushion
The Bonn introduces a new upholstery construction not seen in any other chair reviewed in this series: an elegant double padded back cushion for added comfort. Where every other Kube chair reviewed so far uses a single one-piece cushion for the combined seat and back, the Bonn's back features a dedicated second layer of padding — a double-padded back that provides measurably more cushioning and depth at the backrest than a single-layer construction. This is a premium comfort detail that places the Bonn above the Aarhus, Luke, and Iris chairs in terms of back cushion generosity. The double padding creates a plush, enveloping back that cradles the sitter more fully — a meaningful advantage for extended dining.
2. The Brushed Stainless Steel Sleigh Base with Flex
The Bonn's base is its most architecturally distinctive feature: a sleigh base in brushed stainless steel with slight flex. A sleigh base — also called a cantilever or sled base — is a continuous bent-frame structure where two horizontal runners on the floor connect to the seat via a single continuous curve of metal, with no four separate legs. The chair's weight rests on the two runners, and the cantilevered structure between the runners and the seat provides a natural, built-in flexibility — the "slight flex" describes is the inherent spring of the cantilever design, which gives sitters a gentle, cushioning micro-bounce as they move in the chair. This is the same principle behind classic cantilever chairs like the Mies van der Rohe MR Chair (1927) and the Breuer Cesca Chair (1928) — among the most iconic designs in furniture history.
On the Bonn, the sleigh base is rendered in brushed stainless steel — the same premium metallic finish used on the Colt lounge chair's triangular bars. Brushed stainless steel is warm, satin-toned, and directionality textured, with a quality and permanence that powder-coated black metal or chrome cannot replicate. The brushed finish catches light softly along its directional grain, giving the base a refined, jewelry-like quality at the dining table.
3. The Five-Color Palette, All on Brushed Stainless Steel
Unlike the Iris (one base finish, three leather options) or the Loki (two base finishes, two leather options), the Bonn offers five leather colors all on the same brushed stainless steel base — creating five distinct visual personalities from a single unified base material:
2201 White / Brushed St.St. — the most luminous, high-contrast combination. Pure white top grain leather against the warm silver of brushed stainless creates a clean, hotel-lobby elegance. Shown as a hero lifestyle configuration alongside the 2800 Grey, confirming it as a primary display color.
2301 Light Mocha / Brushed St.St. — a soft, warm tan-brown leather against the cool silver base. Light Mocha's warmth plays beautifully against brushed stainless — the contrast is gentler than White but equally refined. A natural, inviting combination for transitional and contemporary dining rooms.
2500 Black / Brushed St.St. — the most dramatic pairing. Deep black top grain leather against brushed stainless creates a bold, high-contrast statement. On a sleigh base the contrast reads differently than on four-leg chairs — the runners' continuous curve frames the black cushion like a gallery pedestal.
2800 Grey / Brushed St.St. — a medium cool gray leather. The most tonal combination — gray leather against silver stainless steel creates a monochromatic cool palette where the brushed metal's warm silver tone adds subtle warmth to the otherwise cool gray upholstery. Shown as a full-height lifestyle hero image alongside White — confirmed as one of the two primary display configurations.
2900 Smoky Light Grey / Brushed St.St. — a warm, hazy light gray with soft undertones — the same Smoky Light Grey (2900) featured as the hero default on the Aarhus counter stool (4083-26). On the Bonn's brushed stainless sleigh base, Smoky Light Grey creates the most nuanced and sophisticated combination in the palette — warm enough to feel inviting, cool enough to read as contemporary, with the metallic shimmer of the stainless providing a complementary warmth.
