All configurations require just three elements: one panel and two base elements. Reset is assembled quickly and intuitively. As simple as building blocks.

Reset transforms unused areas into productive environments – functional, flexible, universal. Whether dead corners, in-between zones, previously underutilised spaces or open settings, Reset establishes structure. Platforms and folding cushions create areas for dialogue, quiet retreat or presentations – precisely where they are needed. The purpose defines the use – and can be modified at any time, adding value to every space.

Reset embodies sustainable planning – durable, reusable and resource-efficient. The materials are robust and can be recycled or repurposed at the end of their life cycle – including the folding seat cushions made of V-Foam.

One set of platforms allows multiple configurations – from classroom to arena setups – and can be quickly stacked and set aside for compact, space-saving storage when the floor is needed for other purposes. A system that grows and adapts, while using resources responsibly.

For decades, Stephan Hürlemann has created products with one clear principle: things should last. Reset, his latest modular seating system for Vitra, is no different. With its cross-shaped base providing both stability and distinctive character, the design serves equally well as stepped seating, a stage or a sofa. Design editor Jessica-Christin Hametner spoke to Stephan Hürlemann about Reset, as well as what functional need the system addresses in waiting and work areas.
