Sitting at a desk all day restrained by a chair can be uncomfortable, irritating, and even painful at times. Why? The human body is built to move freely. Fortunately, the designers at Knoll disregarded the notion that office chairs have to keep you locked in one position all day, and developed a chair that would compliment free movement instead of combat it. Sit4Less.com is proud to introduce the Generation Chair by Knoll, which offers a new standard of comfort and unrestrained movement, supporting the range of postures typical of today's workplace.
Ergonomic research has challenged the idea of a single, forward-facing posture, recognizing that maintaining one seated position for an extended time is not compatible with the body’s natural tendency toward movement. To overcome this the innovative Generation was created with a Flex Back, Flex Top, and Flex Seat from a high performance elastomer. The Flex Back facilitates changes in posture and position throughout the workday. The Flex Top extends the range of movement allowing you to sit comfortably- even sideways. The Flex Seat offers 270 degrees of seat edge flex without a hard frame or obtrusive levers and the Continuous Lumbar carries the lumbar support in the Flex Back resulting in seamless movement from upright to perched or side sitting positions. In addition the Generation’s sustainable design is made from recycled materials and is constructed using minimal materials.
Generation reflects the changes that have accompanied the contemporary workplace. The workplace has transformed from strictly focused, task-oriented settings to more flexible interactions among workers and tasks.
Alana Stevens, Knoll Senior Marketing Director said, “In its research, Formway observed how people of different age groups and in different job functions related to their work environment. Clearly, there is no one way to sit and a chair should support as many postures as possible."
