THE COLLECTION / THE PEOPLE BEHIND IT

Every finish has a story.

From our first Kickstarter backers to the next chapter of Vision.

01

Black Swan Edition

The darker side of Vision.

Deep Coal fabric and dark shells meet matte black aluminum. Black Swan shares its upholstery and shell color with the Founder’s Edition, but gives the chair an entirely different character through its electro-coated frame. When the finish became an option, many Kickstarter backers chose to switch to it.

Public collection

02

Platinum Edition

An original, brought into sharper focus.

Platinum began as Cosmic Gray during our Kickstarter campaign. The original plan paired the gray fabric and shells with polished aluminum. We upgraded that frame to a mirror PVD finish, keeping the familiar colorway while giving the metalwork a more reflective expression.

Public collection

03

Venus Edition

Something out of this world.

With Venus, we wanted to create something out of this world. Cream upholstery and matching shells meet the warm glow of copper PVD, giving the Vision Chair a new expression. The same Elevated Seating concept, imagined in a different light.

Coming 2027 · Vision X only

04

Founder’s Edition

For the people who believed first.

The Founder’s Edition pairs Deep Coal fabric and dark shells with a mirror silver frame. Originally planned with polished aluminum, it was upgraded to mirror PVD. This edition belongs to our Kickstarter beginnings and to the backers who helped bring the Vision Chair to life.

05

Cobalt Blue Edition

One hundred chairs. A distinct point of view.

Unlocked when our Kickstarter campaign reached its $500,000 funding goal, Cobalt Blue celebrates a milestone made possible by our backers. Limited to 100 pieces, it pairs dark blue fabric and matching blue shells with a mirror PVD frame, upgraded from the originally planned polished aluminum.

06

Kaszixx Edition

One backer. One persistent idea.

One of our most enthusiastic Kickstarter backers kept asking for a green Vision Chair. Eventually, we decided: why not? The result is Kaszixx—a one-off edition with dark green fabric and matching shells, paired here with matte black aluminum.

Desk Compatibility

Will my desk work with Elevated Seating?
Elevated Seating positions you between sitting and standing, so you sit noticeably higher than in a conventional chair. Your keyboard, mouse, and screen need to rise with you, and a standard fixed-height desk is usually too low.

How high you need to go depends on your body and on how upright you set the chair. The more elevated your seat angle, the higher your desk needs to be, so being able to adjust your desk is part of getting the full experience.

The recommended setup: a height-adjustable desk
A height-adjustable desk with a range of roughly 70 to 125 cm (28 to 49 inches) covers the full span of Elevated Seating, from a relaxed lower recline to the most upright position. It lets you fine-tune your working height in seconds whenever you change your seat angle.

No height-adjustable desk? A desk riser can work
If your desk is fixed, a desk riser (a sit-stand converter that sits on top of your desk) can raise your keyboard and mouse to the right height. For this setup to work well, your monitor should also be height-adjustable, either on the riser's upper shelf or on a separate monitor arm, so your screen stays at eye level while your hands stay at elbow height. Check the riser's height range and load rating against your equipment.

A height-adjustable desk remains the setup we recommend; a riser is a workable alternative, not an equal one.

Not sure? We'll check for you. Send us your height and your desk's dimensions and we'll confirm whether your setup is ready for Elevated Seating.

Two chairs. Four decades apart. The same pursuit of better seating.

40 years in the making

For Klaus Kummer, the Vision Chair is the result of four decades spent questioning how a chair can better support the way we sit.

Decades of prototypes led to T-Mech™ and the Vision Chair. Explore some of those early ideas below.
