This new addition to the Vitra collection brings sculptural reference to natural beauty we often ignore. Designed by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec the Vegital Chair draws inspiration from the world’s vegetation.

The cushions, along with the independent steel framework and broad elastic bands, make this chair particularly comfortable.

Designed by Joe Colombo in 1962. Chromed steel, polyurethane cushions, and leather upholstery. Made in Italy.

An interesting new way to keep a few extra chairs around for guests has just been added to MoMA’s permanent collection. Molo’s expandable, reconfigurable paper soft seating uses a honeycomb structure that acts like a slinky and can hold the weight of several adults. As the video below shows it can be arranged in any number of ways depending on your set up, how many people you need to accomidate, and the space you have to work with. We expect to see a variety of variations on this theme in the future.
