Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, 2006
The Slow Chair (knit) has a light and airy, understated aesthetic, thanks to the armchair's translucent high-tech knit sling cover and graceful contours.
The brothers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec live and work in Paris. Their oeuvre ranges from small everyday objects to architectural projects. They have worked with Vitra since 2000 and have contributed numerous designs to both the office and home collections.
