Standard Chair by Vitra
by Vitra
A classic modernist chair first produced in 1934, the frame gets its unique shape from a clever weight distribution design.
Product Story
Chairs take the most stress on their back legs, where they bear the weight of the user's upper body. The engineer and designer Jean Prouvé illustrated this simple insight in his distinctive design for the Standard chair: while steel tubing suffices for the front legs, since they bear a relatively light load, the back legs are made of voluminous hollow sections that transfer the primary stress to the floor.
- The Standard Chair is offered with a seat and backrest in wood and metal legs. Alternatively the Standard SP Chair replaces the wood with a plastic backrest and seat.
- Also available in different wood and metal colours. To enquire please contact our in store team, or advice line: 0333 121 1915, Option 1.
