Vegetal Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, 2008 Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec‘s interest in organic shapes already manifested itself in 2004 with the design of Algues for Vitra. Based on these experiences, the two brothers collaborated with Vitra over a period of four years to develop Vegetal. The process involved countless prototypes and an intense exploration of injection moulding technology. The goal was create a chair that aspires to look like natural vegetation while simultaneously incorporating the necessary strength, stability and comfort. The at, branch-like ribs are asymmetrically intertwined on three levels to form the seat shell, which is shaped as an irregular circle and supported by four legs that appear to sprout from the ground. Vegetal is available in six colours that are unusual for plastic chairs, emphasising the underlying concept of replicating structures found in nature. It is suitable for indoor or outdoor applications and can be stacked up to three chairs high, which permits exible use in a variety of settings and in large numbers. The chair is manufactured using a highly energyecient process and is made from 100% recyclable polyamide. Materials ∏ Seat and base: dyed-through polyamide. Four-leg base, stackable, with plastic glides for carpet or felt glides for hard oors. Vegetal can be stacked up to 3 chairs high. ∏ Note: special additives help to prevent colours from fading due to UV radiation. However, if the chair is exposed to sunlight for prolonged periods, the colour may change over time. We recommend limited exposure to sunlight. DIMENSIONS (measurements are established pursuant to EN 1335-1) 552 21¾”
