Story
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.
Replaceable parts
Vitra presents the seat, backrest, covers, glides and castors as exchangeable components. The product page states up to 86% recycled content and 99% recyclability at the end of its useful life. The chair is presented for workplaces, public settings and homes.
