Timeless comfort, reimagined
Originally launched in 2006, the Vitra Slow Sofa by French design duo Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec has become a modern classic. Now reintroduced in a fresh edition featuring Flocca dark blue upholstery and a black aluminium base, this iconic armchair blends soft elegance with contemporary appeal.
Thanks to its lightweight aesthetic and the innovative use of tensioned knit fabric stretched over a steel frame, the Slow Chair offers a deep, embracing seat with exceptional comfort. It invites you to sink in, while still maintaining the right level of support — ideal for relaxing at home, in a hotel lounge, or a refined office space.
Modern design with a sustainable core
This updated version of the Slow Chair isn't just about looks. Vitra has made significant strides in sustainability: the seat and back cushions are filled with 100% recycled PET and polyester fibres, sourced from post-consumer and industrial waste. The seat cushion itself uses V-foam, a groundbreaking, fully recyclable polyurethane foam developed by Vitra and BASF.
