Slow Chair | Fabric
Slow Chair | Fabric by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec for Vitra.
Originally designed in 2006 by French designers Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, the Slow Chair has become a modern classic in Vitra's collection. Defined by its generously proportioned, laid-back form, the original featured a knitted mesh textile stretched over a tubular steel frame. This innovative construction gave the chair its distinctive lightness, transparency, and ergonomic comfort.
In 2025, Vitra reimagined the Slow Chair with a contemporary update, replacing the knitted mesh with a luxurious bouclé fabric stretched over the frame. With its velvety, tactile texture, the bouclé lends the chair a warm, inviting appearance and a sense of soft, enveloping comfort. Available in seven sophisticated colours, the new version retains the chair’s signature light, airy aesthetic while enhancing overall cosiness.
The chair’s cocooning shape, complete with a plush neck cushion, offers a perfect retreat for relaxation after a long day. Crafted from minimal components, the Slow Chair’s elegant, understated form fits effortlessly into a wide range of interiors. The updated design also features removable covers, improving both sustainability and longevity.
Please note: The price includes the lounge chair with a matching neck cushion only. Backrest throw cushions (64 x 30cm and 40 x 30cm) are available in various fabrics and leathers at a surcharge. Please enquire for more details.
