Porsche Design has teamed up with furniture giant Vitra for a limited-edition collection that celebrates a true icon: the Pepita fabric.
Originally an optional extra on the legendary Porsche 356, the houndstooth-patterned Pepita fabric became a mainstay on later 911 models. Now, it takes center stage on a trio of exquisitely crafted chairs, injecting a dose of motorsport-inspired style into your workspace or living room.
The collection features three distinct chairs, each meticulously crafted in Germany and boasting a unique execution of the Pepita theme. First up is the ID Trim L Pepita Edition office chair. This premium offering features the signature Pepita fabric on the seat and back, complemented by luxurious leather headrest covers embossed with the Porsche Crest. But this chair isn’t just about looks; it boasts an integrated FlowMotion mechanism for customized comfort, with adjustable lumbar support for those long days at the desk.
For a touch of mid-century modern flair, the Petit Repos Pepita Edition armchair reimagines another design classic. This sleek chair features the Pepita fabric in a timeless black and white colorway, paired with a black maple base and dark footrest with felt gliders.
And finally, the Eames Plastic Side Chair Pepita Edition pays homage to one of the most recognizable chairs of all time. This design icon gets a contemporary update with the addition of the Pepita fabric, ensuring it remains a conversation starter for generations to come.
With each chair limited in production and available exclusively online, this collaboration between Porsche Design and Vitra is a collector’s dream. You can find get one of these ultra-exclusive items here.
