Vitra’s AM Chair is the perfect combination of elegance and functionality: skilled engineering, stylish design and decades of experience in office ergonomics. Alberto Meda designed the slender AM Chair to be used at permanent desks, but due to the perfectly padded seat, weight-responsive ProMotion mechanism and ergonomically shaped backrest the chair offers a high level of immediate comfort for workstations with frequently changing users. By adjusting the seat and backrest height and seat depth as well as the height and width of the armrests, the chair can be fine-tuned and personalised to fit the respective user’s needs.
