Features

Eco-Conscious Innovation

Made using ~2 lbs. of recycled fishing nets, helping remove “ghost gear” that threatens marine ecosystems.
A Net Positive Certified product: every chair produced contributes to cleaner water, more renewable energy, and a healthier planet.
Manufactured according to the Living Product Challenge, meaning it is climate‑, water‑, and energy‑positive.

Intelligent Ergonomics

Form‑Sensing Mesh™ backrest automatically contours to the user’s back for a personalised fit. Unlike single‑panel mesh chairs, this tri‑panel mesh adapts precisely to body shape.
Self‑adjusting recline uses body weight—no levers, knobs, or manual adjustments required. Recline remains balanced for any user.
Automatic lumbar support responds instantly as the user changes posture.
Pivoting backrest provides continuous support throughout movement.

Designed for All‑Day Comfort

Contoured seat cushions with waterfall edge for pressure‑free support.
Multi‑layer Duron arm pads (optional), soft yet five times more durable than standard arms.
Armrests move with the user because they connect to the chair back (not the seat), maintaining alignment through recline.

Built to Last

Certified to support users up to 400 lbs, exceeding most office chair standards.
Clean, reliable gas cylinder engineered to prevent grease leakage and prolong chair lifespan.
