ACX
the new generation of office chairs
ACX is the tenth office swivel chair that Vitra has developed in collaboration with Italian designer Antonio Citterio.
With its automatic synchronised mechanism, the compact ACX offers maximum comfort for every user without any need for adjustments other than seat height – while exhibiting a distinctly non-technical appearance.
The construction, materials, production, logistics and maintenance of ACX are designed to achieve a long life cycle with the smallest possible carbon footprint.
“The ACX is my tenth office swivel chair with Vitra and embodies the extensive know-how acquired throughout 30 years of close collaboration”
Antonio Citterio
The backrests of the ACX Mesh and Soft models have a three-dimensional form-fitted knit cover, which is pulled over the frame. The knitted cover is made of 100% recycled polyester. The knitted seat cover complements the two available backrest covers. The muted colours in natural tones, some exhibiting a slight melange effect, are perfectly compatible with both the dark and light-coloured frame.
The armrests are available in 3 versions: fixed height, height-adjustable and 3D.
“The design process for ACX was guided by the decision to use recycled materials. When you use a recycled material, the design needs to adapt to its inherent characteristics, while the overall production process has to take the physical and mechanical qualities of the material into account. The structural elements in ACX are made of up to approximately 60 % recycled materials, depending on the model.”

Ce n’est pas une collection
Maxalto presents the photographic project “Ce n’est pas une collection”. The series is a selection of portraits featuring the most iconic products of the 2023 collection, where chairs, sofas, armchairs, and accessories welcome and interact with sophisticated female figures.
These are essential images in which the simplicity of the space, and the purity of
the black and white, make it possible to grasp the formal harmony of a collection
that seeks uncompromising excellence and offers an artisan tradition
that is reinterpreted in a contemporary way.
LILUM, WITH ITS ORGANIC AND SINUOUS SHAPE, CAN BE PLACED FREELY WITHIN THE SPACE.
DESPINA, THE ELEGANCE OF A CHAIR LINKED TO TRADITION.

ARBITER, A KEY PIECE OF THE COLLECTION WITH LARGE DIMENSIONS AND WIDE SIT,
RENEWING AND REINTERPRETING THE TRADITION OF SOFAS.
AMOENUS SOFT, THE SWIVEL SOFA IS A TRUE ICON OF THE COLLECTION AND IT’S NOW DECLINED IN A SMALLER DIMENSION.
