Heller’s Striking Outdoor Seat Takes Inspiration from a Cookie

When Heller CEO and president John Edelman discovered Jumbo on Instagram, he was immediately struck by how much the New York studio’s designs embodied the essence of his brand. Founded in 1971, Heller has produced award-winning modern furniture by some of the world’s greatest talents, among them Frank Gehry, Massimo and Lella Vignelli, and Mario Bellini; Jumbo founders Justin Donnelly and Monling Lee now join that elite roster. The pair explain they have an abiding interest in “reductivism, whimsy, and gastronomy,” the latter passion influencing their Fortune chair, named for the iconic cookie and channeling its pinched-circle shape. Fully recyclable and U.S.-made using a high percentage of postconsumer-recycled plastic, the perch comes in six foodie hues: Oatmeal, Cookie, Olive, Tomato, Dark Cherry, and Licorice.
