Story
Table seating
Vitra's page presents the Organic Conference as the version suited to table seating, unlike the Organic Chair and the Organic Highback. The fact sheet says its biomorphically shaped shell lets it combine with a wide variety of conference and meeting tables, and that it has long been regarded as an iconic classic.
Covers
The en-gb page counts 85 cover options and the en-de page 96; the extra range on the longer list is Hola, a 100 percent recycled polyester textile.
