Vitra - Organic Highback Chair

Vitra Organic Highback Chair.

The Organic Highback is a comfortable chair with a high back by Charles Eames and Eero Saarinen, a design from 1940.

This chair has an extra long backrest with a contoured neck support, making it a comfortable armchair for lounging or reading. The dimensions of the armrests and the seat, which are wider and longer than the Organic Chair, also increase the seating comfort of the highback version.

Regarding the upholstery of the chair, you can choose from various fabric groups such as Hopsak, Cozy, Tonus and Credo. The Hopsak and Credo fabrics are also suitable for use in public spaces and working environments, due to their high wear resistance.

You can choose from black ash or natural oak for the legs.

The chair is 85 centimeters wide, 107 centimeters high and 78.5 centimeters deep. The seat height is 35.5 centimeters.
