Formal restraint, structural clarity and great seating comfort are convincing features of the chairs in the Visavis product group. Several different versions are available, making the chairs suitable for diverse applications, ranging from contract and mass seating to home furnishings. Visavis chairs are ideal companion pieces to the office chairs in the Citterio Collection.
The version with a padded and upholstered backrest offers additional comfort, has a neutral appearance and, with its variety of cover materials and colours, can be used to accentuate an interior. This cantilevered chair is extremely comfortable, thanks to the shape and construction of its tubular steel frame. The free suspension of the seat allows it to respond to the user’s movements with springy resilience. The backrest is made of flexible plastic with integrated armrests. Due to its innovative construction, it not only provides solid support to the spine, but also allows a high degree of mobility. Perforations in the surface ensure constant air circulation. These are not simply aesthetic features, but essential elements of comfort. In addition the chair is available in a wide selection of upholstery materials, colours and surface textures.
For use in training venues and for mass seating in auditoriums and other large spaces Visavis and Visavis 2 are available in stackable versions and optional writing tablets.
Visavis 2 is distinguished by its slender backrest construction with a fine pattern of circular perforations.
