U1 Office Chair

U1 Office

U1 is an ergonomic office chair designed for long hours of work. The backrest has a fluid S shape inspired by winding rivers and wind carved canyons. The frame is produced by injection molding for structural strength, fatigue resistance and stability, and is offered in black and white with a textured surface. The armrests are finished with baked paint. A two dimensional headrest and a floating lumbar cushion support the head, neck and lower back. The seat and lumbar cushion adjust in height, and three interchangeable armrest styles suit different tasks and body types.
