Hal RE Tube Writing Tablet Chair Vitra

Just like at school: Hal RE Tube Writing Tablet chair with writing tablet from Vitra

Whether in public spaces, such as schools or universities, or at home in your own four walls - the Hal RE Tube Writing Tablet with writing tray from Vitra is an ideal combination element thanks to its clear lines and rounded shapes.

It blends in perfectly with existing furnishings and is designed for dynamic and ergonomic sitting thanks to the slightly flexible plastic and its shape.

The Hal chair collection

Unusual designs are less easy to combine with existing furnishings than plain and simple designs. Jasper Morrison shares this view and has designed a collection with the Hal chairs that is characterised by clear and contemporary shapes and multifunctional seat shells. 

New to the Hal family are the RE models, which take the collection to a contemporary level and use recycled plastic from household waste for the seat shells. This causes fewer climate-damaging emissions compared to original plastic and consumes less energy.

Jasper Morrison - Designer

Designer Jasper Morrison lives and works in London and Tokyo. He describes his work as "super normal " - because instead of unusual shapes, colours and materials, he focuses on reinterpreting the tried and tested and further developing familiar solutions. He has been working with Vitra since 1989.

Environmentally conscious design for the future: the new RE collection

From January 2024, Vitra will focus on sustainability by producing all seat shells of the Eames Plastic Chairs from recycled post-consumer plastic . The seat shells will have minimal glass fibre reinforcement for stability and quality, with the glass fibre content of an Eames Plastic Chair RE seat shell being 10%. The use of recycled packaging waste gives the seat shells minimal colour pigmentation.

Material and format

The Hal RE Tube Writing Tablet chair consists of a seat shell made of recycled, solid-coloured polypropylene and a frame made of chrome-plated tubular steel. It has a hinged writing tablet mounted on the right-hand side.

The chair is 62 cm wide, 63 cm deep and 79 cm high. The seat height is 43.5 cm.
