New from Vitra - Chairless

23 April 2010

Chairless is a seating device for the modern nomad. This sturdy strap of fabric allows its user to sit down in a relaxed manner – without seat or backrest. An excellent solution for picnics, music or movies in the park, waiting in a crowded airport, reading on the beach and on countless other occasions. Chairless is so light and compact that you can carry it with you wherever you go.

Based on a traditional strap used by the Ayoreo Indians from Paraguay, Chairless was designed by Alejandro Aravena and developed in collaboration with Vitra. The ethically conscious design lovers amongst you can feel good about using Chairless with a portion of all sales proceeds going to a charity set up for the benefit of the indigenous people of Paraguay.

Chairless relieves the spine and legs, so that hugging your knees or using a support is no longer necessary. Now your hands are free to operate your laptop or your iPod, for reading, eating etc.
