Most humans spend a considerable portion of their time at their work desks in offices or at homes. In either case, task chairs are crucial determinants of how comfortable and successful a work set-up is. A task chair that can save our backs without compromising on looks is worth all the hype. Here’s our list of a few chairs that keep on giving….
Riya Chair from Bene
Designed by Luke Pearson and Tom Lloyd, Bene’s Riya combines intuitive functions with soft curves. Additionally, its classic synchronous mechanism is an ideal solution for those who work for long periods while sitting at a personal desk, as it offers the necessary support and flexibility to reduce fatigue and discomfort. From just the right cushioning to the automatic weight adjustment feature, comfort and style are Riya’s strongest points.
Nuova Contessa from Teknion
An improved and relooked version of Teknion’s Contessa chair, Nuova Contessa is a singular solution for diverse body types. Courtesy of the signature Smart Operation concept, users can make adjustments while being seated and continue work uninterrupted. This durable and highly-adaptable chair comes in an all-mesh model or with mesh back and upholstered seat, and can fuse with a range of different aesthetics.
Path from Humanscale
Designer Todd Bracher has brought through Humanscale, one of the most sustainable task chairs ever. While its executive and elegant silhouette make it suitable for a line of environments, its superior adjustment features make it a hard-to-resist option. The patented Gravity Mechanism™ on the seat engages with a person’s body weight and supports the user effortlessly.
TWENTYFOUR is5 from Interstuhl
The TWENTYFOURis5 is a plush, practical and reliable solution for workplaces that require equipment to be functional, durable, and of high quality, such as those in 24-hour shift operations. Its focus on meeting the specific needs of these settings makes it a professional solution that can enhance productivity and efficiency while reducing downtime due to equipment failure.
Need a quirky-looking chair that detects even the slightest of movements? You might be searching for Herman Miller’s Embody Chairs. The mechanism of the chair reduces pressures and encourages movement, and the Backfit adjustment helps users achieve a neutral, balanced posture that reduces strain on the back and promotes overall comfort and well-being.
With controls that are simple to find, Think from Steelcase facilitates users to concentrate on the task at hand. The new version of Think is a step forward in sustainable design, as it incorporates more recycled content in its construction. Specifically, the plastic base and back frame are made out of PA6 glass fibre, a material that includes recycled content. All this combined with its commendable lumbar support is the recipe for a flexible task chair.
IN Office Chair from Wilkhahn
For a relaxing experience and great ergonomics, Wilkhahn’s IN Office Chair is a reliable go-to. Progress in material and process technology has introduced new possibilities for exploring innovative forms of dynamic seating, which Wilkhahn’s patented 3D kinematics, Trimension®, has taken advantage of. The impeccably synchronised 3D dynamics coupled with unparalleled comfort provide a stimulating and relaxing work experience that enhances concentration and energises the body.
Available in vibrant colours and ideal for collaborative environments like conference and meeting rooms, Soji’s Haworth is yet another promising task chair on this list. Soji acknowledges the connection between the human body and office chair, drawing on more than 30 years of seating research, knowledge, and expertise to inform their approach. The chair also provides additional choices for companies that face the dilemma of balancing employee well-being with optimising their facility’s space and budget.
As sleek as a task chair can get, the open mind from Sedus enables relaxed “lounging” postures. This innovative chair features a one-piece backrest frame that is directly connected to the seat adjustment mechanism, providing excellent pressure distribution through the use of a highly flexible membrane cover.
