We designed our chair to be the perfect trifecta — ergonomic, economical, elegant — and made it with materials that last a career.
Ergonomic — 8D adjustable, more than even the most expensive chairs on the market.
Elegant — with striking chrome, seamless design, color, straight lines, smooth curves, understated details and subtle colors.
Economical — a third of the price of comparable chairs made by the same manufacturer.
Ballistic Nylon Base
Shiny, incredibly sturdy, intentionally heavy (to keep it from tipping over), extremely easy to clean, and stunningly beautiful.
Breathable Mesh Back
Much more breathable than traditional furniture fabric. We selected it so your back and seat stay cool — even after hours of sitting. Beyond that, the fabric is better at stretching to wrap around your body and providing constant support.
Molded Foam Cushion
Formed to fit people of all sizes. Molded foam is unique because it can compress and provide support without becoming permanently deformed. Moreover, it gets better over time as it starts to slowly form around your body and posture.
Polymer bits and parts
We selected this light but strong material for a reason. It keeps the top lighter, so it’s easier to adjust — without sacrificing structural integrity and quality.
Non-marking casters
Our wheels are composed of materials that don't leave markings on the floors. Non-marking wheels provide excellent floor protection and are perfect for all types of floors (wood, rug, concrete) and every type of use (whether home-office or office-office).
8D Adjustable
More than anything else, the quality of a task chair is defined by the degrees of freedom — a measure of how many adjustments you're able to make to get the chair and your posture exactly right. This chair had more adjustable features than any other that we saw:
Adjustable Headrest height
Adjustable Headrest Swivel Angle
Adjustable Lumbar Support
Adjustable Tilt
Adjustable Armrest Level
Adjustable Armrest Angle
Adjustable Armrest Width
Adjustable seat length
Actually Ergonomic
The word ergonomic gets thrown around in furniture marketing. But it means a very specific thing — the essential office chair's curves were designed to match the natural curvature of your spine — providing support in critical places and gently promoting better posture.
