Vitra Mynt Five-Star Base Plywood Chair
The universal chair Mynt by Erwan Bouroullec combines the appealing home-like aesthetic of a studio chair with a completely new dynamic sitting experience.
The core element is its patented mechanism, which is activated by body weight and tilts forwards or backwards depending on shifts in the sitter's position – with the seat moving independently of the backrest. The movement resistance automatically adapts to the user's weight – only the height has to be adjusted.
Mynt defies conventional categorisation and combines the home-like appeal and unassuming aesthetic of a universal chair with the ergonomics of a dynamic task chair. It thus brings a new way of sitting to any setting: a versatile all-rounder ideal for the office – as well as shared spaces – its understated design also makes an attractive addition to home dining tables.
