The ID Chair Concept, an office swivel chair collection from the designer furniture manufacturer Vitra, was created with the ideal of meeting exacting demands of modern commerce for office chairs which reflect the highest contemporary standards of functionality, aesthetics and economy in context of both the employees individual daily needs and the more universal requirements of the employer. Designed by Italian designer Antonio Citterio and launched in 2010 the Vitra ID Chair collection is characterised by its high degree of configurability: characteristics perfectly represented in the Vitra ID trim with its choice of 2D, 3d or no armrests, or through the wide range of available materials and colour combinations. The seat and the slim backrest ensure, thanks to their polyurethane foam cushioning, a high seating comfort; the cushion chambers of the backrest having a pleasantly supportive effect and providing ergonomic seating, and in combination with the plastic frame provide three-dimensional movement and the associated 3-zone comfort. The optional integrated, height-adjustable lumbar support further contributes to the high level of physical support offered by the Vitra ID trim. Support which is reached through the form and material composition of the Vitra ID Trim having been carefully selected to ensure maximum relaxation of the neck muscles and so reduction in tension. The Vitra ID Trim office swivel chair is available with two mechanisms. The ProMatic mechanism adapts to the weight of the individual and thus is ideal for situations where the ID swivel chair is to be used for short or medium term periods, such as, for example, in touch-down workplaces where not one worker has a fixed desk. The FlowMotion mechanism includes numerous functions which can be adjusted manually according to the user's requirements. Consequently the FlowMotion version is more suitable as permanent chair for one worker and for longer sitting periods. The Vitra ID Trim office swivel chair is available in a wide range of colour combinations and materials. As with all members of the Vitra ID Chair family the Vitra ID trim unites design, ergonomics and functionality in a manner that means it can meet the demands of any contemporary working environment, be that a large concern, a small business or home office.
