slow lounge chair
by Bros Bouroullec from Vitra.
slow lounge chair
Design Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, 2007
Metal frame, aluminum legs, knit fabric
Made in Germany by Vitra
Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec created this expansive armchair by using an extremely strong, precisely shaped knit, which is stretched over the metal frame like a fitted stocking. Thanks to the knit sling cover, the Slow Chair combines soft comfort with ergonomic support, which is further enhanced by thin seat and back cushions. The translucent sling cover replaces the thick cushions of traditional armchairs, resulting in a design that is lightweight, yet generously proportioned. The restrained appearance of the Slow Chair is equally appealing in the living room or conservatory, while offering unrestrained seating comfort.
The two brothers, Ronan and Erwan, have been working together since 1999. Their collaboration is a constant dialogue, nourished by their single identities and strived towards a common goal. Today, the Bouroullec brothers work with numerous manufacturers such as Vitra, Cappellini, Issey Miyake, Magis, Ligne Roset, Habitat and the Kréo Gallery. They were named "Creator of the Year" in 2002, elected "designer of the year" in 2003 and have won multiple other awards. Their creations have been exhibited in many collective or solo exhibitions and are part of some permanent museum collections around the world.
The Slow chair includes seat and two back cushions (as pictured). It is available with polished aluminum or powder coated smooth chocolate legs in your choice of knitted tricot fabric colors. Matching ottoman also available. Please refer to diagrams for specific cushion color combinations for each chair.
