What Vitra highlights

  • Fully upholstered back

    The back is fully upholstered, with clean lines. Vitra says this gives comfort and an understated look that suits many interiors.

  • Height-adjustable backrest

    The backrest moves up and down to fit the sitter.

  • FlowMotion or AutoMotion

    FlowMotion lets you set backrest resistance and add an optional forward tilt. AutoMotion adjusts to your weight automatically, with hard or soft settings.

  • 2D or 3D armrests

    2D arms adjust in height and width; 3D arms add depth and a 360° swivel. Ring arms and an armless version are also offered.

As described by Vitra on its official pages; not a Chairpedia assessment.
