Story

An all-rounder for offices

Vitra's family text calls the Unix Chair the ultimate all-rounder for office environments, used behind a desk as a task chair or in front of it as a visitor chair. Its structural design and the padded mesh cover provide comfort, and the wide colour range suits both functional and more personal workspaces.

The four-legged version

This version has a classic four-legged base in polished aluminium. Vitra says its discreet design lets it serve in meeting and visitor areas in virtually every office environment, and the castor version offers added mobility.
