Mynt Soft

Erwan Bouroullec, 2026

Mynt Soft is an inviting, compact lounge chair that offers excellent comfort. Discreetly integrated beneath the seat, the patented Mynt mechanism is activated by body weight and 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.

The combination of Mynt Soft's cushioned padding with the dynamic movement of the seat and back delivers an experience that the sitter can only fully appreciate through use. The lounge chair is mounted on a swivel base and adjustable in height – from a low lounging setting to a position suitable for dining or work tables.

The upholstery of Mynt Soft is made from V-Foam, the world's first economically recyclable polyurethane foam developed by Vitra in collaboration with BASF. Covers can be selected in fabric or leather in a wide range of colours.

Mynt also exists as an office chair and as the Mynt High counter chair.

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

Fit for any task and space

Mynt defies conventional categorisation and combines the home-like appeal and unassuming aesthetic of a universal chair with the ergonomics of a dynamic task chair. It thus brings a new way of sitting to any setting: a versatile all-rounder ideal for the office – as well as shared spaces – its understated design also makes an attractive addition to home dining tables. The combination of Mynt Soft's cushioned padding with the dynamic movement of the seat and back delivers an experience that the sitter can only fully appreciate through use.

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

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. The combination of Mynt Soft's cushioned padding with the dynamic movement of the seat and back delivers an experience that the sitter can only fully appreciate through use.
'Mynt promotes dynamic sitting almost 50% more effectively than a traditional office chair.'
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 (except for the upholstery of Mynt Soft, which can only be replaced by trained service staff), 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, the world’s first economically recyclable polyurethane foam developed by Vitra in collaboration with BASF. In the case of Mynt Soft, the entire upholstery is made of V-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.
