    The Organic Chair, Extended for Greater Comfort

    The Organic Chair was developed in several versions for the 1940 ‘Organic Design in Home Furnishings’ competition organised by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. With its sculptural, body-following shapes, the design was decades ahead of its time — but without suitable manufacturing techniques, it never went into production. Not until the 1950s did it become possible to produce organically shaped seat shells at scale, as demonstrated by the Eames Plastic Armchair and Saarinen’s Tulip Chair.

    The Highback version features an elongated backrest with a moulded neck support, along with wider and longer armrests and a larger seat surface — making it an exceptionally comfortable chair for lounging or reading. The Organic Chair is also available in a standard version and a Conference version for table seating.
