Vitra Physix Office Swivel Chair – The Concept

The fundamental idea was to create a continuous seat shell using a textile stretched between two side beams. This concept forms the basis of the Physix design. As the latest in a line of iconic chairs, it pushes the typology further.

Dynamics
Alberto Meda has composed a dynamic seating experience by combining three key elements using the latest in production and material technologies: an elastic cover, a stabilising mechanism, and a flexible frame. These components form the innovative construction of Physix. The interaction between rigid and flexible elements redefines the potential of dynamic sitting.

Physix by VitraVariants
The cover is available in 6 FleeceNet colours and 5 TrioKnit colours. The base comes in various aluminium or plastic finishes. Suitable castors are available for both hard and soft flooring.

Alberto Meda
Born in 1945 in Tremezzina, Italy, north of Milan. He studied mechanical engineering at the Polytechnic in Milan and worked in the 1970s as a director for Kartell. As a freelance designer, he collaborated with renowned companies such as Alfa Romeo, Luceplan, Philips, Olivetti, Legrand, and many more. In the 1980s, Meda taught industrial technology at the Domus Academy in Milan. In 1995, the Design Laboratory Bremerhaven appointed him to the board. His collaboration with Vitra began in 1994. Since 2003, he has taught at IUAV Venice and given lectures in Stockholm, Miami, Chicago, Toronto, and Istanbul. His designs enrich the successful Office Collection.

Sustainability and the Environment
The most significant contribution to the environment is the longevity of a product. High-quality materials and sustainable design ensure the long service life of the Physix. The office swivel chair is 98% recyclable and certified with both “GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certified” and “Blue Angel for low-emission upholstered furniture (RAL-UZ 117)”.
