Cité Armchair

The Cité Armchair has been created by Jean Prouvé for the brand Vitra. This chair has a height of 84cm, a width of 68cm and a depth of 95cm. Its seat height is 33.5cm and this particular model is finished in pebble melange, a shade of soft grey-blue.

The Vitra Cité Armchair has a composition of steel, soft upholstery form, a fabric made from 73% virgin wool, and a polyester and polyamide blend. Jean Prouvé, the French engineer and designer, originally created this iconic piece to furnish the student halls of Nancy's city university. He also began using the expansive, extremely comfortable chair in his living room, beguiled by its leather belt-styled armrests and powder-coated steel runners.

Today the piece is as relevant as ever, with its crisp lines, enticing dimensions and complete comfort and it will make a stylish addition to any interior living arrangement. With base glides ideally suited for carpeted rooms, the Cité Armchair looks fantastic on its own, perhaps accompanied by your favourite statement cushion, left unadorned, or arranged within a series to curate a welcoming seating area with a profound sense of style.
