Landi Stacking Chair

landi stacking chair
Design Hans Coray, 1938
Pressed aluminum sheeting, matte anodized, TPE
Made in Germany by Vitra
Developed for the 1939 Swiss National Exhibition (Schweizer Landesausstellung), the Landi Chair occupies an important place in the history of twentieth-century design: this classic by Hans Coray established the new typology of a three-dimensionally molded seat shell on a separate base. The clear structure of the all-aluminum chair consists of two parts. First, a pair of U-shaped profiles connected by welded crossbeams form a self-supporting frame and simultaneously serve as the legs and low armrests. This base supports a seat shell, which makes ideal use of the material's possibilities: the 91 punched holes not only ensure the modest weight and flexibility of the comfortable shell, but also give the graceful Landi its trademark appearance.
The lightweight, stackable Landi Chair is robust and weather-resistant. The production of the Landi Chair involves numerous steps, many of which are performed by hand. Technical innovation, optimal use of materials, minimalist forms and understated elegance are the elements that have made the Landi Chair into a classic over the years, which looks as fresh and vital today as ever.
The Landi Chair can be stacked up to 6 units high. Vitra's re-edition of the classic stays true to the original while making the most of the latest technical possibilities. The anodized aluminum surface of the chair is durable and weather-resistant but may develop signs of wear and tear if the chairs are stacked. Light grey glides in injection molded TPE. Recommended for residential use only.
20.25" w | 25.5" d | 31.25" h | seat: 18.75" h | 16" w | arms: 23" h

Vitra is a Swiss company dedicated to improving the quality of homes, offices and public spaces through the power of design. Following in the tradition of Charles & Ray Eames, who have influenced Vitra's approach to sustainability in many ways, product longevity is central to the company's contribution to sustainable development; short-lived styling is avoided at all costs. This can be seen most clearly in the classical pieces of furniture that have been used for decades, had several owners and have then even ended up as a part of a collection.
