Refurbished Vitra Organic Armchair with Wooden Legs

The Organic Chair – a small and comfortable reading chair – was developed in several versions for the 1940 ‘Organic Design in Home Furnishings’ competition organised by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. With its sculptural shapes; the design was ahead of the times. But due to the absence of suitable manufacturing techniques; the armchair never went into production. Not until 1950 did it become possible to manufacture and market organically shaped seat shells in large quantities; as exemplified by Charles and Ray Eames’s famous Plastic Armchair or Saarinen’s Tulip Chair.
