"Developing a new chair for Vitra in the wake of a masterpiece like
the Eames Lounge Chair was a unique challenge." -Antonio Citterio
Grand Repos and Repos stand in the tradition of the classic lounge
chair, but have developed this concept further to reach a new
level. With their generous padding, inviting armrests, high back
and continuously adjustable sitting positions, these chairs fulfill
almost all demands with respect to comfortable, relaxing seating.
Thanks to their bio-mechanical range of motion, this collection
adapts to all seating positions - from a reading to a reclining
position. The angle of the seat and backrest change synchronously
and the invisible mechanism integrated into the chair can be locked
in any position.
The Italian designer and architect Antonio Citterio knows how to
combine timeless elegance with unsurpassed comfort. He has worked
with Vitra for around 25 years creating a variety of pioneering
designs. After many years of experience in creating dynamic and
healthy seating, he has now applied his expertise to the private
living area, with the Repos collection as his premiere pieces.
The Repos and Grand Repos are available in a variety of leathers
and fabrics, with decorative seams that lend the chair a distinctly
contemporary, almost technical flair. The lounge also includes a
matching neck cushion filled with feathers. The four-star base made
of die-cast aluminum comes in polished and colored lacquer
versions. The Grand Repos, boasts a 2.25" backrest and an
expressive wing chair element to enhance its aura.
