Mynt

Overview

Designed by Erwan Bouroullec in 2025, Mynt crosses the universal- and task-chair categories. Its patented mechanism tilts forwards or backwards as posture changes, while the seat moves independently from the back.

Movement shapes the chair

Bouroullec states that movement defined Mynt’s appearance. The mechanism adjusts resistance to the sitter’s weight, leaving chair height as the manual setting.
