Renowned German automaker, Porsche has teamed up with Swiss interior designer Vitra to bring on a special edition of three designer chairs that are wrapped in the Pepita fabric, Porsche’s iconic design element. The product partnership between the two giants is seen as a fusion to bring the acclaimed fabric out of the car right into the office or living room.
Porsche’s proprietary fabric was first officially used in the 911 sportscar in 1965. Crafted in Germany, the chairs draw their design inspiration from Vitra’s special catalog, and are seen as upgraded versions of its signature models in a limited-edition run. The chairs revel in the epitome of style and performance to offer comfort in both, personal and private spaces.
Eames Plastic Side Chair Pepita Edition, ID Trim L Pepita Edition and Petit Repos Pepita Edition chairs; all three are wrapped in Pepita fabrics’ houndstooth pattern with small squares and diagonal stripes. One of the chairs has an armrest for support while the other two chairs are without it.

The most famous Eames Plastic Side Chair Pepita Edition is designed by Charles and Ray Eames and has a seat wrapped in the fabric, and sits on a black maple base. ID Trim L Pepita Edition and Petit Repos Pepita Edition are designed by Milanese architect and designer Antonio Citterio. The former of the two chairs features a headrest cover with an embossed Porsche crest for comfort whereas the latter one wraps the material on a plush lounge chair with black leather back.
Boasting the signature DNA, this series of chairs is a representation of Porsche’s iconic design paired with Vitra’s excellent craftsmanship through its striking appearance offering seating solutions. The trio of chairs is slated to be proudly showcased at Milan’s ‘The Art of Dreams’ event for public display.
