The first office chair that doesn't make you choose between being ergonomic, economical, elegant. It’s all three, in one. Built with a 275lb weight limit.
We designed our chair to be the perfect trifecta. Then made it with materials that last a career.
Actually ergonomic — 8D adjustable, more than even the most expensive chairs on the market.
Elegant — with 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.
Aluminum Alloy Base
Incredibly sturdy, intentionally heavy (to keep it from tipping over), extremely easy to clean, and stunningly beautiful.
Fabric Mesh
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.
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
Synchronized Movement
You may have never heard of synchronized movement before. For office chairs — it's a game changer. It's simple: as you lean back, the seat gently slides forward. This means that the lumbar support always stays in place. You will never place undue weight on your lower back.
Wide Shoulder Span
We designed our chairs to have a tapered back — because we designed a chair for everyone. Now, the broad-shouldered among us have a place to rest.
In Cement and Slate
Our chairs are available in two classic Essential shades. But doing this was harder than ever before.
Office chairs require so many different materials that it is challenging to give them a consistent style. We wanted ours to look as seamless as possible. So we had to line up colors for four completely different materials into one cohesive form. But we got it right. The cement looks incredibly elegant while the slate is sleek. Everything you expect from the Essential home.
