Slow Chair Armchair Vitra

A place to slow down: Slow Chair (knit) from Vitra

The Slow Chair (knit) by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec invites you to lean back and creates an unmistakably light aesthetic with its transparent mesh structure. Whether in the living room, in the lobby or in a stylish office lounge - the generous armchair becomes a flexible favourite spot for relaxing moments away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The moulded high-tech fabric replaces the thick cushions of traditional lounge chairs and gives the Slow Chair an airy, modern character. The soft cushions ensure comfort, while the elegant aluminium frame combines stability and lightness. A piece of furniture that radiates calm and presence in equal measure with its graceful design language.
