General Adjustability
Movement helps reduce built-up pressure on the spine, prevents cramps and facilitates blood flow, and an adjustable chair is the best way to ensure enough movement!
Seat Height Adjustment
Your chair should allow proper seat adjustment; so that when seated
- Your feet is comfortably flat on the ground, beneath your
- Your knees are bent at a 90 degree angle
- Your thighs run parallel to the floor with your hips at a 90 degree angle
- Your elbows are at a 90 degree angle on your desk
The Exact Chair, with Synchronized tilt tension control mechanism, multi-position tilt lock and pneumatic seat height control gives lasting comfort for multiple users.
Reclining Backrest
Choose a chair that lets you recline easily without putting strain on your back, neck or eyes. A reclining back relieves tension from weighting down on the lower back, and increase attention span and comfort level.
The WAU, designed with a ‘Moulded Elastomer’, allows for ‘flex zones’ engineered to suit individual needs. (A mesh back, in comparison, provides uniform tension pressure)
Comfortable Armrests
An ideal armrest gives the natural and necessary degree of support for the forearm, wrist, shoulders and neck.Look for pieces that allow personalized support for your arms; like the Monti with adjustable arm height and soft PU foam moulded arm pads for contact comfort.
Optimal Lumbar Support
True Lumbar Support requires an adjustable seat and backrest. This is especially important in the case of multiple users for the chair – everyone should be able to find their own level of comfort.The Nez Chair comes with an easily adjusted lumbar support pad, ensuring precise support for every spinal curve.

Chairs for your Industry

Different jobs require different support. Compare workers seated for long periods of time, such as an accountant, with someone transitioning from sitting to standing often, such as a sales consultant; each require a different chair with specific qualities to best suite their work culture.

‘The accountant’ who is seated for longer would need a chair with more support such as a headrest and an armrest. In comparison, ‘The sales rep’ who transitions from sitting to standing often, requires a chair with less upper body support and allows the individual an easier transition between sitting and standing.

The Fulkrum Chair:

A chair that makes the user the centre of workflow and information movement, complete with Tilt Tension Control and Multi Position Tilt Lock. Its ergonomic features are ideal for desk workers as it ensures comfort and efficiency over longer periods.

What sort of Finishes work best for you?

The Material used on the chair you choose contribute
to overall comfort and the office aesthetic.

Leather

Leather is an expensive choice and looks the part. They’re comfortable (in a well ventilated office) and easy enough to clean with a damp cloth. Just make sure it’s kept out of the sun, and the leather is maintained correctly.

Mesh

Mesh is an affordable choice complete with a contemporary look and good airflow. It moulds the contours of your back, adding good comfort. It is ideal for hotter climates and well suited to high traffic areas because it does not retain odours like other fabrics. Mesh can easily be cleaned with a disinfectant spray and steam cleaned.
