Dessiné par Alberto Meda pour Vitra, le siège Physix est un siège de bureau sobre et léger, doté d'un piètement pivotant et réglable en hauteur, dont la conception offre un confort exceptionnel : un panneau textile de haute technologie est tendu entre deux barres latérales réglables. Son allure sobre associée à ses performances techniques font de Physix un complément parfait à tous les environnements de bureau.
Born in Como, Alberto Meda took his engineering degree at Milan's Politecnico and was recruited in 1973, at the age of 28, as Technical Director of Kartell, where he experimented with polyurethane. Six years later, he was flying under his own steam, working for Alfa Romeo, JC Decaux, Legrand, Luceplan, Vitra and Alias. His collaboration with the latter began in 1984 with the development of Light Light, a chair weighing just 1 kg made from carbon fibre and epoxy resin. He went on to create numerous collections of outdoor furniture. Alberto Meda works actively with Vitra, particularly on office chairs, concentrating on the essentials: simple shapes that combine optimum comfort with intelligent technology to make well-being at work a priority.
