ORGANIC

Brand:

The Organic Chair—a small, comfortable reading chair—was presented in 1940, in several versions, at the “Organic Design in Home Furnishings” competition organized by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The sculptural forms of this design were ahead of their time, although at that time it could not be mass-produced because the appropriate production techniques did not yet exist. It wasn’t until 1950 that it became possible to manufacture and market in large quantities curved seat shells with organic shapes, such as the well-known Plastic Armchair by Charles and Ray Eames or the Tulip Chair by Saarinen.

There is a version of the Organic Chair with a wider and longer backrest and broader armrests, the Organic Highback chair. The Organic Conference version is also suitable for dining tables.

The Organic Conference chair has a higher seat and a more upright back than the Organic Chair and Organic Highback, models designed for reading. This exceptionally comfortable chair is ideal as a dining chair or for use in meeting rooms.
