Vitra The Worker Armchair

£2,011.00

Vitra's The Worker armchair is appealing thanks to the strange interplay within it of handcraftsmanship and technological elements. "Form follows feeling" - this is the creed that Hella Jongerius adheres to in her design work.

The craft-like, rustic feel of the armchair is the product of the compact seat upholstery which almost seems overly low, and the base frame, left visible, which is reminiscent of a half-timbered structure. By contrast, both the lathed wooden armrests and the polished aluminium arc stand for modernity and contemporary technology.

The choice of upholstery fabrics plays a key part in defining The Worker's appearance. The seat and backrest come with different cover fabrics, whose textures and colours are carefully fine-tuned to complement each other.

The Worker is available in four finishes: red with dark oak frame, brown with dark oak frame, cream with light oak frame and red with light oak frame.
