Petit Repos

Overview

Designed by Antonio Citterio in 2013, Petit Repos is a low swivel lounge chair with an integrated flexible back connection. The back yields as the sitter leans into the moulded body.

Construction

• Shaped polyurethane foam around a polymer supporting frame
• Four-star swivel foot in die-cast aluminium
• Textile or leather cover options

Specifications

• 665 × 660 × 715 mm
• 405 mm seat height for the US configuration

A smaller reclining response

Petit Repos extends Antonio Citterio’s work for Vitra with a lower, more compact chair. Instead of the synchronised hardware used by Repos, its body incorporates a flexible connection that permits a measured backward movement.

Two height settings

The fact sheet gives two seat positions. The American configuration uses the lower 405 mm setting; the higher option lifts both the seat and the upper edge by 40 mm.
