A synchronised mechanism is concealed beneath the upholstery of the Grand Repos wing chair and can be locked in any position, for optimum back support and utmost comfort at any reclining angle. The characteristic head section invites the user to lean back and creates a sense of shelter and seclusion. The decorative seams in the fabric or leather upholstery of some versions lend the armchair an almost artisanal look.
Panchina is a small upholstered bench that can serve as a practical seating option or as a footrest for Grand Repos, thereby enhancing the extraordinary comfort of these armchairs.

Jointly developed by Vitra and Antonio Citterio, the lounge chairs Repos and Grand Repos introduce a new level of comfort and flexibility to the home environment: with their generous padding, inviting armrests and high backrest, these swivel-based lounge chairs impart an image of supreme comfort.
Thanks to the synchronised mechanism concealed beneath the upholstery, sitters can move from an upright posture to a reclined angle for resting and lock the backrest in any position. The resistance of the backrest can be manually adjusted to the user's weight. This ensures great comfort and optimal spinal support across the entire range of movement.
Repos, Grand Repos and the matching Ottoman are available in two different heights.
