Vidy Chair

An outdoor seating solution designed for the terrace of Theatre de Vidy-Lausanne, the Vidy Chair is composed of a canvas seat and tubular galvanised steel frame. The terrace, which overlooks Lake Léman and the Alps, is a place where one can sit and absorb the breath-taking vista, all from the comfort of the Vidy Chair. Taking inspiration from Swiss garden furniture and the theatre’s architectural details, the chair is designed to encourage playful interaction with its bespoke castor rolls and versatile configurations. When not in use, the chairs can be stored in a nest-like arrangement, offering added practicality for the venue. The chair also comes with detachable tables and parasol holders, making it applicable to multiple scenarios. And, while centred on functionality and form, it allows guests to enjoy the cultural settings of the region in style.
