Vitra APC All Plastic Chair | Designed by Jasper Morrison

Materials & Finish

• Backrest, seat & base: Made from dyed-through polypropylene, giving the Vitra APC All Plastic Chair a consistent color throughout its components. 
• Material composition: The frame uses rigid, high-strength polypropylene, while the seat and backrest are more resilient to adapt to the sitter’s body. 
• Two-tone finish: Available exclusively in coordinated two-tone color combinations, with the frame in a slightly darker shade than the seat and backrest. 
• Color options: White, Ice Grey, Buttercup, Ivy, Graphite Grey, and Brick, each presented in a two-tone palette. 
• Glides: Available with carpet glides or felt glides designed for hard floors. 
• Outdoor-ready materials: The plastics are resistant to sunlight and water, making the chair suitable for indoor and outdoor settings. Vitra specifies temporary or seasonal outdoor use and recommends sheltered storage after prolonged exposure to the elements. 

Designed by Jasper Morrison, the Vitra APC All Plastic Chair combines durable polypropylene construction with subtly contrasting two-tone finishes for a clean, contemporary appearance.
