Vitra traces the modern history of the chair with its film “Chair Times”

“Chair Times” is an invitation to travel back in time, to retrace the history of modern Vitra chair designs.

The designers Hella Jongerius, Antonio Citterio, Ronan Bouroullec and others present this “ocean of chairs”: 125 pieces from 1807 to models created using a 3D printer are exhibited in the warehouse of the Swiss manufacturer, forming a epic narrated by Rolf Fehlbaum, President Emeritus of Vitra.

“The chairs are important witnesses of an era. They are the portraits of their users and reflect the manufacturing process that they bring to light. ”
