Story
Lightness and transparency
Vitra's introduction says ID Mesh embodies technical transparency and lightness, a spacer fabric with the airiness of a net and the softness of a slim cushion.
Two plastic parts
In the factbook, the backrest has only two plastic parts, and that construction is what supports the lumbar region while leaving the upper back flexible. Vitra adds that ID Mesh can be equipped with a clothes hanger and a headrest.
