physix task chair
Design Alberto Meda, 2012
Powder-coated aluminum, polyamide, die-cast aluminum
Made in Germany by Vitra
Designed by Alberto Meda, the lightweight, streamlined Physix office chair has a sophisticated design which guarantees excellent comfort. The high-tech chair is equipped with all the necessary features for an ergonomic seating experience and its understated design is ideally suited to a diverse range of home office environments. Physix is also available in two other functional, minimalist versions.
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 stabilizing 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.
- Physix is in accordance with EN 1335.
- Powder- coated aluminum in deep black (RAL 9005) or soft grey (RAL 7047). With synchronized movement, individual adjustment of backrest resistance and locking device in upright position. Seat height continuously adjustable via gas spring.
- Flexible frame and armrests in polyamide (deep black or soft grey). One-piece sling panel for the seat and back in TrioKnit knitted fabric or FleeceNet woven fabric.
- Five-star base in die-cast aluminum, with a polished finish or powder-coated in deep black or soft grey.
