ID Chair Concept Developed by Vitra and Antonio Citterio in 2010, the ID Chair Concept is an innovative series of task chairs with a wide range of options that emphasize design and functionality, allowing you to customize it to suit any need. In 2021, the series has been completely redesigned in terms of comfort, design and environmental impact, and new models have been added. The ID Chair Concept is available in six traditional backrests (ID Air, ID Mesh, ID Soft, ID Soft L, ID Trim, ID Trim L), as well as the new ID Cloud, which was introduced in 2021.
FlowMotion mechanism <br>Humans have the urge to move, even when sitting. Ideally, an office swivel chair should not only offer freedom of movement but also encourage dynamic sitting postures, such as leaning back or leaning forward. With this in mind, Vitra developed the FlowMotion mechanism. This patented mechanical unit supports the full range of body movements, not only leaning backwards but also leaning forwards. Almost all functions can be adjusted without leaving the chair, and with just a few quick turns of the adjustment screws, you can precisely adjust the resistance from minimum to maximum. The chair maintains its ergonomic properties even when the settings are not optimally adjusted.
Forward tilt function Operation: Rotate the dial on the back of the seat to release it from the locked position. When released, the forward tilt function is turned on. The forward tilt function follows the posture of the body and helps maintain the optimal spinal shape when working at a desk. For safety reasons during transportation, the forward tilt function is shipped in the locked position.
Seat depth adjustment Operation location: Lever on the right side of the seat. With the lever pressed in, slide the seat. If the seat is positioned too far forward, blood circulation in the legs may be restricted. To prevent this, adjust the seat depth so that the gap between the tip of the seat and the back of the knees is about two finger widths.
Recline function on/off Operation location: Lever at the front of the lower left of the seat. Pulling out the lever limits the reclining range. Pushing in the lever allows normal reclining. Normally, use the reclining function on. For safe transportation, the product is set to the locked position when shipped.
Seat height adjustment Location of operation: Lever on the front right side of the seat To improve circulation (blood flow) in the legs, the seat must be adjusted to the proper height. To achieve the correct height, adjust so that your knees are bent at approximately a 90° angle when your feet are flat on the floor.
Adjusting the arm width <br>Location: Lever at the back under the seatThe distance between the armrests should correspond to the width of your shoulders, without having your arms spread too far apart or pressed tightly against your body. If you sit in a natural position with your lower arms on the armrests, you will know that your posture is correct if your arms are close to your torso. You should also be able to move them back and forth easily.
3D Armrest Pad <br>Operation point: Arm pad
The 3D armrest pads can be rotated 360 degrees and moved forward or backward, allowing you to adjust the angle of the pad and its distance from your work surface.
Vitra develops products and environments
Vitra elevates the quality of homes, offices and public spaces through the power of design. Founded in 1950 and since.
Product and environmental developmentRespect for the environment is expressed in every aspect of Vitra's activities: in the way we develop and manufacture our products, the way we source our raw materials and the way we organize our supply chains. New discoveries lead to further developments. Vitra believes that the environment "shapes" how we think and feel. With the power of design, we work every day to make the environment better.
In developing products that can be used for as long as possible , we avoid short-term trends and eliminate unnecessary elements. If the design, manufacturing method, and materials are not all in place, the product will not last.
Materials Vitra is committed to using materials that meet human rights and environmental standards in accordance with official certification programs for sustainable and responsible sourcing. Products and materials are regularly analysed and assessed by external organisations. 46% of Vitra's suppliers are German and 96% are European. As a globally active company, we produce our products in the most resource-efficient way possible and deliver them to our customers all over the world.
Cultural Activities <br>Vitra is also active in the cultural sector beyond its business activities. It invests a large portion of its profits in preserving cultural heritage in design and architecture, supporting various institutions around the world, such as the Eames Foundation, which preserves the Eames House in Pacific Palisades, California, the Alvar Aalto Foundation in Finland, and the Barragan Foundation in Switzerland.
Furthermore, the Vitra Campus, located on a vast site in Weil am Rhein on the Swiss-German border, is a one-of-a-kind experimental space for architecture and design, and a place where architecture, design and art are open to everyone on an equal footing. The ongoing development of the Vitra Campus is also a sign of our mutual, long-term relationship with the region of Weil am Rhein.

Reclining adjustment 
Arm height adjustment
Lumbar Support Function <br>Operation point: Lumbar support lever on the back of the seat (backrest) The lumbar pad should be positioned just above the waistline to conform to the curvature of the lower back. This promotes optimal spinal posture. The lumbar support adjusts perfectly to your individual height and prevents the pelvis from tilting.
