ABOUT PRODUCTID 10914
The Dorsal office chair, designed in 1980 by Giancarlo Piretti and Emilio Ambasz for the Swiss manufacturer Vitra, exemplifies the modernist approach to ergonomics and functionality characteristic of the late 20th century. Its construction features a sturdy black five-star plastic base equipped with a swivel mechanism and height adjustment lever, ensuring smooth, adaptable seating. The seat and backrest are upholstered in matte black fabric with a distinct woven texture, providing tactile contrast to the chair’s smooth plastic shell. The backrest is ergonomically contoured and visually separated from the seat by a gap, emphasizing the design’s visual lightness. The proportions are compact and balanced, while the overall impression is one of understated rigor and attention to detail. Condition: good, with minor signs of use typical for furniture from the 1980s. This chair carries the optimistic spirit of 1980s design—a period when function and comfort were viewed as equally important. The black textile surfaces and geometric frame evoke the atmosphere of dynamic offices and home workspaces of the decade, where ergonomics became a central concern. The gap between seat and backrest creates a sense of lightness, as if the chair were breathing free from the weight of traditional forms, while offering contemporary comfort. The Dorsal chair can be paired with a minimalist light wood desk or lacquered console to highlight the contrast of materials. It works well in both home offices and contemporary workspaces with restrained palettes
