Story
Comfort and ease of maintenance
Vitra describes Meda Gate as combining comfort with maximum ease of maintenance. Its self-supporting cantilever seats use robust, durable materials for public waiting areas.
A configurable public-seating system
Seat shells, recliners, armrests and table elements can be arranged along the support. The stored dimensions combine values from the official three-seat front drawing and the named double-bench side drawing that correspond to the selected back-to-back armrest layout.
