VegetalRonan & Erwan Bouroullec, 2008Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec's interest in organic shapes already manifested itself in 2004 with the design of Algues for Vitra. Based on these experiences, the two brothers collaborated with Vitra over a period of four years to develop Vegetal.The process involved countless prototypes and an intense exploration of injection moulding technology. The goal was create a chair that aspires to look like natural vegetation while simultaneously incorporating the necessary strength, stability and comfort. The flat, branch-like ribs are asymmetrically intertwined on three levels to form the seat shell, which is shaped as an irregular circle and supported by four legs that appear to sprout from the ground. Vegetal is available in six colours that are unusual for plastic chairs, emphasising the underlying concept of replicating structures found in nature. It is suitable for indoor or outdoor applications and can be stacked up to three chairs high, which permits flexible use in a variety of settings and in large numbers.
The chair is manufactured using a highly energy-efficient process and is made from 100% recyclable polyamide.6)Seat and base: dyed-through polyamide. Four-leg base, stackable, with plastic glides for carpet or felt glides for hard floors. Vegetal can be stacked up to three chairs high and is suitable for outdoor use.Note: special additives retard the fading of colours due to UV radiation. However, if the chair is exposed to sunlight for prolonged periods, the colour may change over time. We recommend limited exposure to sunlight. Designed by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec to resemble natural vegetation with legs that appear to sprout from the ground, Vitra's Vegetal range features widely curved forms made up of organic lattice shells. Choose from a variety of complementary colours, including cactus, chocolate and brick, and enjoy a roomy seat that is exceptionally comfortable. You can use the Vegetal in your home or garden, and for compact storage stack them up to three chairs high. Please note: Not all of our ranges are on display in our furniture departments.

A unique modern organic chair grown for living. 100% inspired by nature, the much anticipated Vegetal Chair is here! Vegetal is a new chair planted by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec and grown by Vitra. The Vegetal Chair comes in 6 colors which are closelely related by the colors found in nature. The Vegetal Chair will blossom naturally in any living space indoors and out.
A refreshingly beautiful alternative to the common chair. Select from a wide variety of color finishes. "As designers, it is our task to find new structures, new construction forms", explains Ronan Bouroullec with regard to his work: "And this chair is primarily structure and not just a motif". But how come the Vegetal Chair appears to be anything but an assembled construction, more like a single cast? A second inspiring idea which was the result of the Bouroullecs' intensive work with die casting mingled with the initial idea of the grown chair. "In the die casting process plastic shoots into the form like blood into veins", says Ronan, "and the finer and more branched the form is, the better the plastic is distributed." The brothers quickly had a clear image in mind. Delicate, round legs growing upwards, bending and branching into a ramified seat surface, meandering up and branching out again into back and armrests. When they first showed their sketchbook full of ideas to Vitra, the response was instantly enthusiastic.
This chair is made from durable weather-resistant polyamide plastic with a matte finish. It can be used both indoor and outdoors. Special UV-resistant additives slow down the fading process caused by ultraviolet rays. However, leaving the chair exposed to the sun for an extended period of time will eventually result in color changes. We do not recommend leaving the chair permanently outdoors in full sun.
