Vitra Slow Chair & Ottoman


Every home needs a nice lounger you can relax, read, watch TV, or just fall asleep in. Problem is, if you live in the city, you might be in a condo and space as we all know is at a premium, and after your sofa goes in, there's barely room for anything else. Vitra has a great piece, the slow chair & ottoman. It's still large enough for one to lounge in, but gives the illusion of lightness by being upholstered in a translucent fabric sling, rather than the thick cushions of traditional chairs. Not only does the mesh-like fabric extremely strong and durable, it will conform to your body and offer ergonomic support.
