Vega office chair

The Vega is the evolution of a classic: an internal steel frame covered with shape-retaining flexible polyurethane and elastic webbing, with a comfort seat and a visible stitched finish. The Dynamic mechanism with knee-tilting system locks in four positions.

Version

• Executive advanced high back - high back with adjustable lumbar support
• Executive high back - high back
• Manager advanced medium back - medium back with adjustable lumbar support
• Manager medium back - medium back

All four on a polished aluminium star base with 65 mm braked castors. You choose frame and armrests in chrome or matt black, without surcharge.

Upholstery

The fabric group determines the price. Within a group every colour costs the same. You choose the colour after ordering; we will contact you about this. All colours per fabric group are shown with the photos, and the complete fabric chart can be downloaded: fabric chart (pdf).

What does the Martindale figure mean?

In the Martindale test a fabric sample is rubbed back and forth under a weight until wear appears. The figure is the number of rubs the fabric achieves. Below 25,000 is light domestic use, 25,000 to 40,000 normal office use, above 40,000 intensive office use and above 100,000 suitable for 24-hour use such as control rooms and shift work. A higher figure says something about wear resistance, not about how the fabric feels.

Differences between the materials

• Faux leather is a woven backing with a coating. It wipes clean with a damp cloth, which makes it practical for intensive or shared use, but it breathes less well than fabric.
• Wool blends feel fuller, breathe well and are less prone to pilling than polyester. They are somewhat more sensitive to stains.
• Genuine leather is grain leather from Dani. It develops a patina over time and needs occasional care. The thickness differs per type; thicker leather looks sturdier.

All fabrics and leathers comply with EN 1021-1 and EN 1021-2, the European standard for the fire behaviour of furniture upholstery. MF, CS, SY and RM additionally carry the EU Ecolabel; CS and SY also Oeko-Tex.
