Vitra Physix Chair

Vitra Physix is an office chair designed by Alberto Meda in 2012. It is a lightweight, streamlined office chair with a swivel base, whose design offers excellent comfort: a high-tech textile panel is stretched between two adjustable side elements. Its understated character makes it a perfect addition to every office environment. Physix also comes in a conference or studio version.

The structure of Physix is based on the idea of creating a continuous seat shell by stretching a single textile panel between two side members. With its design, the chair assumes its place in a long line of iconic chairs while taking the typology to yet another level. Using state-of-the-art materials and production technology, Alberto Meda orchestrates an interplay of three elements to create a new dynamic sitting experience: a flexible frame construction, an elastic cover and a stabilising mechanism. Together these three characteristics form an ingenious construction that explores new possibilities of dynamic sitting through the interaction of flexible and rigid elements. Physix is available as an office swivel chair, in the version Physix Conference with a four-star base, or in the functionally and aesthetically reductive version Physix Studio.
