B3 Designers

The latest addition to the Vitra collection by the Bouroullec brothers is the Vegetal chair which will be released in early 2009.The chair is a result of a four year long process which started with a sketch reminiscent of the designers ‘Algues’ collection.
The initial design, which was much more filigree than the end result, had to be altered in order to achieve a design that would be feasible for mass manufacture.
The chair is injection moulded in a single operation thus making it a more affordable product.
Even though the design feels quite different from the initial idea ( it looks a lot more abstract and functional than the first models) it is still a refreshing and poetical design which has the typical ‘Bouroullec’ touch. It will be a welcome addition to the portfolio of any interior designer as it is often difficult to find beautiful plastic chairs that are suitable for restaurant interior design as well as outside seating.
