Vitra Slow Chair Knit

Manufacturer: Vitra | Designer: Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, 2006

Lightness and Translucency in Knitted Form

The Slow Chair Knit uses an extremely strong, precisely shaped knitted fabric stretched over a tubular steel frame — a sling cover that replaces the thick cushioning of a traditional armchair with something altogether lighter and more considered. The result is a chair that is generously proportioned but visually light, with a translucent quality that shifts with the light. Thin seat and back cushions add comfort without bulk. A matching ottoman is available — please contact our team for more information.
