.04 counter chair
by Maarten V Severen from Vitra.
.04 counter chair
Design Maarten Van Severen, 2000
Polyurethane shell, integrated leaf springs, steel base, die-cast aluminum
Made in Germany by Vitra
The .04 Counter chair is characterized by an unobtrusive design. It offers comfortable seating despite a sleek design and is therefore ideal for office environments. It is particularly suited for meeting and conference settings, where it can be combined with standing-height tables for a healthy alternative to long periods of sitting.
The flexible polyurethane foam shell yields gently to the user's weight and adapts to body contours to afford enjoyable sitting and provide comfortable flexibility for the back. The micro-mechanism with a rubber ball joint allows gentle multi-directional movement. As a result, .04 is exceptionally comfortable even if you want to sit for hours on end. Available with or without armrests.
Formal clarity and simplicity are distinguishing aesthetic features of Maarten Van Severen's designs. His work, handproduced in his workshop in Ghent Belgium, reflects his quest for perfection in form, detail and fabrication. Their appearance is restrained and elegant. Every element is structurally motivated and reduced to its essential form. Maarten works in a variety of different materials: aluminium and ply to bakelite and polyester.
