Although the Slow Chair takes up a fairly large surface area, it has a light and airy vibe about it is mostly due to the fabric used. Slightly transparent, the sheer material provides a comfortable perch while also ensuring that it doesn't dominate the space it is placed in. In this way, the Slow Chair is a great option for both small and large homes.
Designed by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, the Slow Chair is described as a double duty piece of furniture by Design Milk. Whether used in the living room or the sun room (and even temporarily outdoors), it has a versatile aesthetic that adapts to many situations and needs. Created for Vitra, the Slow Chair is made out of a tubular steel frame with a knitted fabric stretched over it.
