Vitra Fauteuil Direction Pivotant
Manufacturer: Vitra | Designer: Jean Prouvé, 1939
The Swivel Version of a Prouvé Classic
The Fauteuil Direction Pivotant takes the constructive aesthetic of the Fauteuil Direction and adapts it for the office: a five-star base with castors replaces the fixed legs, and a gas spring provides continuous seat height adjustment. The backward tilt is adjustable and lockable in the forward position, making it a genuinely functional task chair without sacrificing the visual character of the original design.
Solid wood armrests in natural oak, smoked oak, or American walnut add warmth to the powder-coated steel frame. Available in a wide range of fabric and leather covers. For more information, visit the Vitra Colour & Material Library.
