Konstantin Grcic: Allstar

With Allstar – presented by Vitra at Orgatec – Konstantin Grcic has developed an office chair characterised by unexpected shapes and colours, well suited for the home office.

Konstantin Grcic: Allstar
The Allstar chair defies conventional categorisations: is it a chair for office workplaces or the home office? What period is it from? Does it fulfil specific functions? What is it made of?
In developing Allstar, Konstantin Grcic kept such formulations open in order to provide office workers with a relaxed home-like feel and sense of familiarity.

The form of Allstar is emblematic and appealing. It seems as though this chair has always existed, which inspires a feeling of trust and security. Exuding casual ease and comfort, it yields a calming influence and de-accelerates the fast-paced dynamic of today’s offices.

At the same time, Allstar contains all the functions necessary for a fully equipped office chair: an adjustable synchronised mechanism with lockable positioning, seat depth and height adjustment, and an adjustable backrest. A stout loop frame made of robust plastic simultaneously performs the function of armrests, backrest support and extended arm of the mechanical unit.

It enables the separate movement of seat and backrest and transfers the forces to the mechanical unit under the seat. The organically shaped cushions of the seat and back work together with the technical functions to ensure a high level of comfort. This makes Allstar suited for a wide variety of settings – including places where high-tech seating performance is desired but a classic office chair would not be appropriate for aesthetic reasons.

Allstar is available in different colour versions. The base and seat cushion are always black while the armrests and backrest are coordinated in various colour
combinations.
