Story
A wooden chair in plastic
Vitra describes the APC as reminiscent of the simple, classic wooden chairs common in Europe for decades, with its performance and appearance enhanced by an alternative material.

Two plastics, two-tone colours
Using two types of plastic lets the frame be a slightly darker shade than the seat and backrest, which is why the chair is offered only in selected two-tone palettes.
