Mynt Chair
A task chair used to be a hyper-personalized piece of furniture with all manner of knobs and levers that needed to be carefully calibrated to an individual’s particular body type and sitting style to ensure a comfortable experience. But in today’s dynamic office environments, employees rarely claim ownership over any one specific chair. Instead, they tend to move around throughout the workday. This has sparked a need for universal seating that’s versatile enough to deliver instant gratification to anyone and everyone.
Erwan Bouroullec’s Mynt is expertly designed with all this in mind. At its core is a patented mechanism that springs into action when it detects body weight, automatically tilting forward or backward based on the sitter’s position. This clever engineering accommodates a wide range of shapes and sizes by transforming a task chair into something more akin to a bicycle — prompting the body into a state of active balance dubbed “dynamic sitting.” By enabling users to easily shift their weight, Mynt’s on-the-fly movement resistance makes sitting feel less sedentary and more active. Despite all this technical wizardry, the design still boasts a minimalist silhouette that looks at home in corporate and residential settings alike.
Already destined to become a classic, Mynt has longevity in mind. Its upholstery, glides and casters are all user-replaceable, while its seat cushion features another major innovation: the world’s first cost-effective recyclable polyurethane foam, developed by Vitra in collaboration with BASF and called V Foam. Unlike standard PU foam that irreversibly hardens when heated, V-Foam can be reshaped through a special chemical process. The result is a chair that isn’t just designed for everyone — it’s also designed for the planet.
