The Softshell Chair with a swivel base belongs to the same collection as the Softshell chair with 4 legs. It has a smooth appearance which gives conviviality and serenity to it. It also ensures a very comfortable seat, unexpected at first sight: thanks to the vertical lamellas inserted in the back of the shell, the Softshell Chair allows its user to sit comfortably for a long time.

The Softshell Chair with swivel base is available with 2 bases: a 4-star base with glides for carpet or hard floors, and a 5-star base with suspension and wheels. The 2 bases are available in basic dark powder-coated aluminium or in polished aluminium.

Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec

Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec

Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, born 1971 and 1976, respectively, in Quimper, France, studied at the École Nationale des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and at the École des Beaux-Arts in Cergy-Pontoise. Ronan began independent design work immediately after completing his studies, while his brother, who was still in school, assisted him.

Since 1999 both brothers have worked together as joint partners in their own Paris-based design studio. Their work ranges from small utilitarian objects to architectural projects. In addition to the design of domestic and office furniture, vases, porcelain dishware, jewellery and diverse home accessories, a primary focus of their work is the design and organisation of interior space.

One of their most unconventional designs, Algue (2004), was created in this context. The collaboration between the Bouroullec brothers and Vitra began with the office furniture system Joyn, which was developed between 2000 and 2002 and continues to be expanded and refined. Along with Jasper Morrison, Hella Jongerius, and Antonio Citterio, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec have made major contributions to the steadily growing Vitra Home Collection.
