Why Vitra Chairs Are Worth Considering for Your Office
If you want to create a professional workspace that stands out without spending designer prices, used Vitra chairs offer a smart solution. These are genuine design classics from one of the world’s most respected furniture manufacturers – built to last decades, not years.
At Second User Furniture, we have been helping businesses access premium design through quality used/second-hand furniture for over 25 years. We have seen how the right pre-owned Vitra pieces can transform meeting rooms and breakout areas whilst delivering the kind of quality that justifies the investment – at a fraction of the new retail price.
What Quality Used Vitra Chairs Bring to Your Business
Here is why businesses choose used/second-hand Vitra chairs over standard office seating:
Genuine design heritage – You are getting authentic chairs designed by masters like Charles and Ray Eames, Maarten Van Severen, and other renowned designers. These are not copies – they are the real thing, just pre-owned.
Built to commercial standards – Vitra manufactures for high-end offices worldwide. Their chairs are engineered for heavy daily use and typically last 20+ years in commercial settings. That is why used Vitra chairs still have so much life left in them.
Professional credibility – Clients and staff recognise quality design. Pre-owned Vitra pieces send the same message about your standards as new ones – but at much better value.
Better ergonomics – Vitra invests heavily in comfort research. Even their used side chairs offer superior support compared to basic new alternatives.
Retain their value – Quality used Vitra pieces hold their worth much better than standard office chairs. You are making a smart investment in proven design.
What to Look for in Used Vitra Chairs
When buying used/second-hand Vitra pieces, focus on what matters for long-term business use:
Key Quality Indicators
- Check the frame – Vitra uses premium materials. Steel should be solid with no flex, wood should show no splits
- Test the mechanisms – Any adjustable components should work smoothly without sticking
- Examine the upholstery – Look for minimal wear patterns. Vitra fabrics are usually high-grade and age well
- Verify authenticity – Genuine Vitra pieces have maker’s marks and superior finish quality
All our used/second-hand Vitra chairs are thoroughly evaluated and verified to be in good condition before we stock them.

Creating Complete Designer Environments
Vitra chairs work best as part of a coordinated approach. Consider pairing them with:
- Meeting tables that complement the design aesthetic
- Café tables for informal Eames chair settings
- Reception furniture to create consistent quality throughout your space
Think about how your Vitra pieces connect with other seating like breakout chairs and soft seating so you create a cohesive professional environment.
