Vitra Citizen Lowback armchair

Design: Konstantin Grcic

The Vitra Citizen Lowback for your home, your home office or the office
The Vitra Citizen Lowback enables gentle swinging instead of rigid sitting: The "Citizen", (translated Citizen), is the new chair by designer Konstantin Grcic from the year 2020. The seat of the chair is attached to three ropes that allow it to swing. Visually, the suspended seat cushion hovers above the swivel base. The chair is designed as a cantilever chair, so that mobile sitting is also supported by the frame of the chair. The back of the chair is fixed to the resilient steel frame. The armchair with the low backrest has an unobtrusive design and can be perfectly integrated in private and public spaces. It also cuts a good figure in a group. The Highback version (lounge armchair with high backrest) is also available in the pro office shop. Modern upholstery fabrics can be freely selected from a beautiful colour palette.
