First designed in 1951, the Vitra Fauteuil Direction Pivotant Chair is a substantial piece of office seating, with its generous proportions and luxurious finish. A sense of industrial heritage runs through the Fauteuil range, which celebrates the naturally iconic nature that comes with such timeless style. The Direction Pivotant chair features a deep cushion and backrest, and is upholstered in a choice of premium Twill and Tress fabrics. A formidable steel base gives the chair its unique character, and offers a wide range of adjustment options, including a backward tilt, and is lockable in the forward position. A gas spring powers the mechanical element of the base, while a distinctive powder-coated finish really sets the Vitra Fauteuil Direction Pivotant Chair apart from other pieces of this nature.
