The Vitra Softshell Chair, skilfully designed by the creative duo Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, is a jewel of ergonomics and style. With its distinctive flexible backrest, the chair adapts to the curvature of the user's back, providing support and comfort for an unparalleled sitting experience, ideal for long periods of use.
The secret to this comfort is concealed within the polyurethane padding, fundamental to its flexible internal structure composed of cleverly placed ribs beneath the surface. These ribs, in concert with the integrated armrests that emerge fluidly from the shell, offer a soft yet resilient response to the body, providing gentle, personalised support.
Aesthetically balanced, the Vitra Softshell Chair is available in a wide palette of upholstery, both fabric and leather, which blend harmoniously into a variety of interior contexts. From waiting rooms to executive offices, from private homes to conference rooms, this chair contributes to an inviting and refined atmosphere. The softness of the upholstery embraces the entire surface, providing a clean, modern look.
The chair is ready to meet different furnishing needs: in addition to the standard version, an armchair model is also available with a five-spoke swivel base, increasing its versatility and adaptability.
The construction involves high quality materials:
- Polyamide legs for reliable support and contemporary design.
- Fibreglass-reinforced polyamide shell for strength and durability.
- Polyurethane foam padding for comfortable seating.
- A choice of fabric or leather upholstery to meet any aesthetic and functional preference.
The Vitra Softshell Chair therefore stands out as a furnishing solution that combines the desire for sedentary well-being with the search for a composed and elegant form, perfectly in line with Vitra's ethos of producing furniture that is as functional as it is visually elegant.
