The individual, high-quality components have a consistent design language, lending the Pacific Chair expressive clarity and precision. Its appearance is strongly defined by the backrest, which extends so far down that no mechanical components are visible from behind, with the exception of the base. With its linear silhouette and understated design, the chair is an ideal addition to any contemporary interior. Although not readily visible, the Pacific Chair offers all the sophisticated functions necessary for ergonomic seating. The height-adjustable back and armrests form part of the same vertically aligned profile. This is a decisive feature of the overall design concept and allows users to sit sideways. The synchronised mechanism automatically responds to the weight of the respective user, offering an immediate sense of personalised comfort. Further fine adjustments can be carried out quickly and easily thanks to the concealed but intuitively positioned operating elements. The padded backrest comes in three different heights; one height is available with a mesh cover. Components are colour-coordinated in light or dark versions, available with matching functional armrests or elegant aluminium arm supports. ![Pacific Chair 5](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/pacific_chair-5.jpg)![Pacific Chair 2](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/pacific_chair-2.jpg) ![Pacific Chair 4](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/pacific_chair-4.jpg)![Pacific Chair 3](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/articles/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/pacific_chair-3.jpg) - [Manufacturer's Product-Info](https://www.vitra.com/en-gb/office/product/details/pacific-chair) - [Manufacturer's website](http://www.vitra.com) - [All products by Vitra @ Stylepark](https://www.stylepark.com/en/products/manufacturer/vitra) - [Vitra @ Stylepark](https://www.stylepark.com/en/manufacturer/vitra) Vitra Related Articles [FAIRS & EVENTS City for All 8/25/2021 From 9 to 11 September 2021, current questions about urban development will be discussed in Frankfurt am Main as part of the new festival "S.O.U.P. – Shaping Our Urban Phuture".
