The aesthetic of the Physix Chair, designed by Albertro Meda in 2012, reminds the classical Aluminium Chair designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1958. In both cases, the chair is made of a single textile panel stretched between two side members, which would offer the greatest possible freedom of movement.
To achieve this objective, Alberto Meda created three elements that combined ensure an exceptionally dynamic sitting experience: a highly flexible frame construction, an elastic cover and a stabilising mechanism.
Vitra has updated the colours for the seat cover fabrics: fresh hues provide a balanced palette, making it even easier to find a suitable chair for virtually any environment. Physix is available as an office swivel chair, in the version Physix Conference with a four-star base, or in the reductive variant Physix Studio.
