Vitra Basel Chair

Morrison, Jasper

With the Vitra Basel Chair, Jasper Morrison renews the classic genre of simple wooden chairs that have been mass produced in great varieties and numbers for about a century. Whereas the balanced proportions first catch the eye, on closer inspection the chair reveals a crucial innovation. The Basel Chair's seat and back are made of plastic and are moulded in a more pronounced organic shape than pure wooden chairs; the surface is textured and overall more slender-and thus more flexible. Thanks to the combination of these two materials the Basel Chair is far more comfortable and the two-colour versions are especially striking.
