Grand Repos & Ottoman
Made by Vitra
Designed by Antonio Citterio
Antonio Citterio's Grand Repos is a study in considered comfort. The wing silhouette creates a quiet enclosure around the sitter, a gesture that is as much about atmosphere as it is about posture. Beneath the upholstery, a synchronized reclining mechanism moves with the body and locks at any angle, offering precise support without sacrificing the chair's composed exterior.
Decorative seams in select fabric and leather versions introduce a handcrafted quality to the surface, adding depth to what is already a refined form. Paired with its Ottoman, the composition extends naturally into a full resting posture, the kind that invites genuine stillness.
