The .03 chair embodies his philosophy of reducing objects to their essence while ensuring they serve their intended purpose effortlessly.Unlike many traditional chairs that rely on complex forms for comfort, the .03 achieves it through flexibility and subtle adaptability.

I bought the Vitra MVS .03 chair for my dining area and it’s been a great addition. The tubular steel frame feels sturdy yet the polyurethane seat has a slight flexibility that makes it comfortable for long meals. It’s not the cheapest option, but the build quality justifies the price. Reminds me of Mediterranean simplicity in design. I’m quite happy with it.
