Description

The sinuous and organic Orbit Dining Chair extends the boundaries of technology, craftsmanship, and innovation. Orbit’s shell is available in ash or zebrawood veneer in various painted or natural wood finishes. Orbit is also available in several plastic colors. It features a chrome base and is stackable up to six chairs, or ten chairs with a stacking cart. A soft elastomeric pad conceals the base connection and protects the chair when stacked. This new generation of the plywood chair displays a leaf-like thinness and true three-dimensional quality formerly possible only with plastics. Orbit’s shell has the elegant appearance of a floating petal with a rigid structural spine that extends outward toward delicate edges. Its strength is derived from the central core which provides support and flex in the back.
The designer of the Orbit Dining Chair, Ross Lovegrove, is a recipient several international awards, and has been extensively published and exhibited internationally in the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Guggenheim Museum in NY, Axis Centre in Japan, Pompidou Centre in Paris and the Design Museum in London, where in 1993 he curated the first Permanent Collection.

What should I expect when ordering an item with lead time?

Estimated lead times are shown under "Delivery", above. Read our shipping policy to learn more.

Lead times are estimated based on previous production times from our manufacturing partners, but lead times can change depending on availability and circumstances outside of Rarify's control.

For example: if purchasing an imported or made-to-order product, international shipping and import times depend on many factors. This includes US customs operations, global trade circumstances, and production facilities in other countries.

We will try to fulfill your order as quickly as possible. Our international freight forwarding partners help to take burden off of you during the process of importing; we appreciate your patience while your order is fulfilled.

Purchasing made-to-order is one of the most responsible ways to purchase, as it helps prevent furniture waste on our planet.

Vintage items are typically in-stock in the USA and ready to ship once purchased.

Do you deliver to NYC?

Yes, in-stock items can often be delivered to NYC quickly by our skilled couriers. Pieces are delivered by hand to your residence. This typically takes 1-2 weeks for items stocked at our warehouse in PA.

What is Freight shipping?

Freight shipping is how most furniture is shipped: secured by hand on a pallet and transported on a truck.

Furniture arrives curbside, often on the shipping pallet for protection.

Freight shipments can take longer and are more costly than regular mail, but help to prevent damage to furniture during delivery.

Rarify's entire collection is evaluated by credentialed experts for authenticity. We strive to only list an item for sale if we're certain it's authentic. Our team reviews every piece.
