Mynt High

Erwan Bouroullec, 2026

The Mynt High counter chair is suitable for use with high tables and bars. The core element is its patented mechanism, which tilts forwards or backwards as the sitter changes position, with the seat moving independently of the backrest. The movement resistance automatically adapts to the user's weight – only the height of the chair requires adjustment.

An elegant footrest provides added support and comfort. The seat and backrest come in a choice of natural oak or dark walnut veneer, as well as recycled polyamide from 100% post-industrial sources. These may be replaced or exchanged for a different material or colour option at any time. The chair is equipped with either a five-star base or four-star base, whose glides can be replaced with castors and vice versa – and the relevant office standards are fulfilled in each variation.

Padded covers are available for the seat and backrest. The polyurethane foam "V-Foam" used in the seat cushion was developed by Vitra in partnership with BASF as the world's first economically recyclable polyurethane foam; the padding of the back cushion is made of polyester fibre. Thanks to zip fasteners, the two upholstery elements can be easily removed for cleaning or replacement – allowing Mynt High to retain its fresh look and flexibly adapt to new needs.

Mynt also exists as an office swivel chair and as the compact Mynt Soft lounge chair.

'Apart from the fact that Mynt had to perform, it had to be inviting – inviting for any kind of people, any kind of task, at any time.'
Erwan Bouroullec

'The movement has defined the aesthetics of the chair – its elegance and functional mechanism go hand in hand.'

Redefines dynamic sitting

The core element is its patented mechanism, which is activated by body weight and tilts forwards or backwards depending on shifts in the sitter’s position – with the seat moving independently of the backrest. The movement resistance automatically adapts to the user’s weight – only the height has to be adjusted.
'Mynt promotes dynamic sitting to a significantly greater extent than conventional office chairs with a synchronised mechanism.'
Institute of Biomechanics, ETH Zurich

ETH Zurich investigates Mynt

The study states: ‘On average, the proportion of active sitting increased by nearly 50%, accompanied by a 40% higher frequency of movement.’

Future-proof

Mynt is designed for sustainable longevity with exchangeable parts: the upholstery, glides and castors can be replaced or renewed by the user, while the seat and backrest in recycled plastic or wood can be exchanged by trained service staff. Mynt consists of up to 86% recycled materials and is 99% recyclable at the end of its product life – plus its padded seat covers are made of V-Foam, developed by Vitra in collaboration with BASF as the world's first economically recyclable polyurethane foam.

Myntは、オフィスや公共スペースの空間、あるいは暮らしのインテリアに、まったく新しい座り心地を提案します。人はそれぞれが唯一の椅子に長時間座るのではなく、どちらかというとほかの人と椅子を共有することが多いという現実に応えるソリューションです。オフィス環境にMyntを置くとユニバーサルチェア特有のくつろぎを感じられますし、ご家庭のインテリアとしてお使いになればオフィスチェアではよくあるアクティブな動きに対応できます。これまでのカテゴリ分けにはまらないチェアです。 根幹ともいうべき特長は特許を取得したMyntのメカニズム。Activated by body weight, it tilts forwards or backwards as the sitter changes position, with the seat moving independently of the backrest. 動きの抵抗は座る人の体重に合わせて自動的に調整されるため、必要なのは高さ調節のみです。A study by the Institute for Biomechanics at ETH Zurich found that Mynt promotes dynamic sitting almost 50% more than conventional office chairs with a synchronised mechanism, and that movement while sitting is a key factor in healthy work habits. Mynt also exists as the Mynt High counter chair and the compact Mynt Soft lounge chair. くつろぎを感じられる控えめなデザインを実現するため、Myntではチェアの根幹となるメカニズムをスレンダーに収めています。The seat and backrest of Mynt and Mynt High come in a choice of natural oak or dark walnut veneer, as well as recycled polyamide from 100% post-industrial sources. These may be replaced or exchanged for a different material option at any time. Myntの高性能のベースはグライドとキャスターとを取り替えてご使用になれる可変式を採用。両方の仕様を、オフィスの環境に応じて使い分けられます。 座面と背もたれには布張りカバーをご用意しています。The TPU foam in the seat cushion was developed by Vitra in partnership with BASF as the world's first economically recyclable polyurethane foam; the padding of the back cushion is made of polyester fibre. カバーはファスナータイプで洗濯や取り替えのために簡単に取り外せるので、Myntを常に清潔に保ち、使用環境の変化に合わせて自由に変更できます。 Mynt Soft is a compact lounge chair that combines Mynt's innovative mechanism with cushioned padding to offer exceptional comfort. Mounted on a swivel base, Mynt Soft is adjustable in height – from a low lounging setting to a comfortable position for table seating. Its fabric or leather covers can be replaced by trained service staff.
