vitra > Styling

Designer Hella Jongerius drew her inspiration for the Elephant Pad from the Eames Elephant by Charles and Ray Eames.

Terracotta Pot, medium

vitra > Styling

The column-like forms of the different sized Terracotta Pots serve as pedestals for the plants they hold, elevating them and giving them more presence in the room.

Chaise Tout Bois

vitra > Chair

Chaise Tout Bois is the only chair by the French 'constructeur' and designer Jean Prouvé that is made entirely out of wood. The design is very similar to Prouvé's famous Standard chair, but wood was substituted for the metal base due to the scarcity of metal during the Second World War. The form of the Chaise Tout Bois articulates Prouvé's intention to provide added strength at the transition point between the seat and backrest, where the load weight of the human anatomy is greatest. The profile of the rear frame section – back legs and backrest support – makes reference to this load transfer and is a typical characteristic of Prouvé's designs for both furniture and architecture. Prouvé created several prototypes of this chair during the war for the purpose of testing its structural strength as well as the joints, leg position and connection between the seat and back. The chosen type of wood depended on what was available at the time. After the war, there was once again a sufficient supply of oak, which due to its hardness and strength was commonly used in France to construct ships and cathedral roofs. As these properties are also ideal for an all-wood chair, the Chaise Tout Bois was ultimately made out of oak and plywood – also offered in dark-stained versions when requested by Jean Prouvé's customers. In 1947, Prouvé won an award for the Chaise Tout Bois in the 'Meubles de France' competition. The concept of the competition was to find attractive, high-quality, mass-produced furnishings to meet the post-war needs of society – particularly refugees and young married couples. Later the Chaise Tout Bois was replaced by a knock-down version in metal and wood, which was then supplanted by Model No. 305, likewise combining a metal base with a wooden seat and backrest – known today as the Standard chair. Chaise Tout Bois by Vitra corresponds to one of Jean Prouvé's design variants from 1941, whose construction does not require a single screw. The height and seat geometry are the same as those of the Standard chair and thus meet current norms and requirements. The warm look and feel of wood contrasts appealingly with the practical structural design, which is typical of Prouvé's functional approach. Chaise Tout Bois is available in light oak or dark-stained oak.

Wooden Doll No. 22

vitra > Styling

For the Tip Ton Limited Print, designers Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby have superimposed one of their early sketches in different colour layers in order to convey the movement of the chair in the illustration. The limited print is restricted to 50 numbered copies signed by Barber and Osgerby. The motif is additionally available as a standard poster.

Grand Relax & Ottoman

vitra > Chair

Grand Relax is a luxurious reclining lounge chair combining outstanding comfort with compact dimensions and a classic understated aesthetic. When sitting down, the user sinks into the soft cushions, and the chair reclines thanks to an integrated and adjustable synchronised mechanism concealed within the seat. The backrest can be locked in any position. The outer backrest is covered with embossed split leather, forming a type of shield that enfolds the user, while defining the contours of the lounge chair. Grand Relax appears both compact and inviting.

Eames Plastic Armchair DAW

vitra > Chair

Today the Plastic Chairs by Charles and Ray Eames seem like archetypes of the genre of chairs whose shell can be combined with diverse bases. The combination of the wooden base with the plastic shell of the DAW (Dining Height Armchair Wood Base) produces a rich contrast of materials. The seat shells are also available with a seat cushion or full upholstery.

HAL RE Wood

vitra > Chair

RE designates the HAL model with a seat shell made of recycled plastic. Utilising this recycled material from household waste instead of conventional plastic generates less climate-damaging emissions, with a reduction in energy consumption. Due to the composition of the recycled material, the different colours are interspersed with tiny specks of pigment, giving the seat shells a certain natural appearance and a warm inviting appeal – especially when combined with the characteristic wooden legs in the version HAL RE Wood.

Petite Potence

vitra > Styling

Jean Prouvé created the first version of the Potence wall lamp for his own home in Nancy: a simple light bulb affixed to a long, pivoting steel bar, which is held by a steel wire. This functionalist, puristic design was soon produced in various sizes, with an added handle on larger models to facilitate the swivel movement. Petite Potence has similar proportions to the larger model Potence, while its compact dimensions are ideally suited to smaller interiors. The swing arm is 103 cm long, with a powder-coated finish in colours derived from the originial hues used by Prouvé. The cable is sheathed in a high-quality textile casing, and the LED bulb is dimmable. Thanks to its reductive aesthetic, Petite Potence is an ideal lighting choice for a wide variety of settings, from dining and living rooms to offices or cafés.

Aluminium Chairs EA 101/103/104 – Dine

vitra > Chair

The Aluminium Chairs EA 101, EA 103 and EA 104 by Charles and Ray Eames are ideal for using in combination with tables: in comparison to the other models in the Aluminium Group, they are somewhat lighter, narrower and higher. Thanks to the wide selection of subdued or bright upholstery colours, it is easy to find the perfect chair for any dining room interior. The three models differ in the type of base – fixed or swivel – and whether they come with armrests.

The seat cover can be selected in a complementary knitted fabric or in the textile Plano.

Eames Elephant (Plywood)

vitra > Styling

After issuing a first limited edition in 2007, Vitra commenced serial production of the Eames Elephant in plywood in 2018. The Eames Elephant in plywood is available in cherry wood or – as a special numbered and labelled series – in grey-stained ash. The Eames Elephant additionally exists in plastic, ideal for children, as well as in a smaller version also in plastic, Eames Elephant (small), with both available in a variety of colours.

vitra > Styling

Charles and Ray Eames enriched the collage-like interior of their private home, the Eames House, with numerous objects and accessories that they brought back from their travels. For over seventy years, the figure of a wooden bird has stood in the centre of the living room – an artefact that was evidently highly treasured by the couple, since it also appeared frequently as an accessory in photographs taken by Charles and Ray. In addition to the classic black lacquered version made of solid alder, the Eames House Bird is also available in walnut. The versions stained in dark green or pale rose are part of the Eames Special Collection 2023 and are only available until the end of January 2024.

Happy Bin RE Small

vitra > Styling

The new high-quality recycled material used to make Happy Bin RE stems from Germany's 'Yellow Bag' (Gelber Sack) collection of household waste, from which used plastic packaging is sorted, cleaned, shredded and upcycled back into injection-mouldable polypropylene. Due to its composition, the recycled material is interspersed with tiny specks of pigment. These subtle colour variations perfectly complement the slightly irregular shape of the wastepaper bin: Swiss designer Michel Charlot was inspired by a Hans Arp sculpture when creating Happy Bin RE, which brings an unusual organic design language to the typically austere office.

Soft Pad Chairs EA 217/219 – Work

vitra > Office Chair

The models EA 217 and EA 219 are the office swivel chairs in the Soft Pad Group by Charles and Ray Eames. Their dignified aura makes them especially suited for management areas. The extraordinary comfort of the chairs results from the combined effect of their tilt mechanism, which can be adjusted to the user's weight, and the soft fabric- or leather-covered upholstery. The higher backrest of EA 219 distinguishes it from the Soft Pad Chair EA 217.

Eames Plastic Side Chair DSW

vitra > Chair

For the Dining Height Side Chair Wood Base (DSW), Charles and Ray Eames combined the organically shaped seat shell with a four-legged wooden base.

Prismatic Table

vitra > Coffee table

Following a purely geometric design, the Prismatic Table takes inspiration from traditional Japanese paper folding techniques. The side table comprises three elements made of folded sheet aluminium with a high-quality powder-coated finish. Joined together they form a three-legged table with a hexagonal top. Isamu Noguchi originally designed the Prismatic Tables in a combination of different colours, which reveal captivating kaleidoscope-like patterns when the tables are arranged together. Vitra has returned to this original idea and now produces the Prismatic Table in three versions, each featuring three parts in different combinations of muted shades of grey.

With a broad selection of upholstery colours, it is easy to find the perfect chair for every office environment. The models EA 117 and EA 118 are distinguishable from EA 119 by their lower backrests.

ACX Mesh

vitra > Office Chair

ACX Mesh differs from the two other models in the task chair family – ACX Light und Soft – in that its backrest has a knitted fabric cover. This semi-transparent mesh textile is made of recycled polyester and comes in a choice of seven colours – which combined with either a dark or light frame enables numerous variants. The seat cover can be selected in a complementary knitted fabric or in the textile Plano.

Lounge Chair & Ottoman

Offered in two sizes and various combinations of leather or fabric upholstery covers, wooden shells and bases, the Lounge Chair is ideally complemented by the matching Ottoman.
