Physix Conference - TrioKnit, Black Pearl Conference Chair

Description

Vitra's Physix Conference provides dynamic seating and lasting comfort, even without the mechanical adjustment options. Thanks to its flexible seat frame and elastic textile cover in knit or woven fabric. The chair is an excellent choice for conference and meeting areas in which understated elegance is the key image.  

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.

Physix is available as an office swivel chair, in the version of Physix Conference with a four-star base, or in the functionally and aesthetically reductive version of Physix Studio. 

With its design, the chair assumes its place in a long line of iconic chairs while taking the typology to yet another level.

Brand

Vitra is much more than a brand but rather a staple of design. Established in 1950 in Birsfelden, Switzerland, the brand has left its mark on design history through its transcending path. Starting as a furniture producer, it paved its way to manufacturing and ultimately became the powerhouse design institution we see today.
