The chair was designed in collaboration with the Institute for Ergonomics at Munich University and features a series of ‘spine’ elements that are adjustable to provide comfort and support. The chair reclines using a side joystick lock-and-release mechanism.The design is based on a series of experiments on different sitting profiles, determined in part by different body sizes. A system of adjustable rib-elements is attached to a carbon profile modeled on the human spine using quick release fasteners, allowing not only classical variability in terms of tilting of the headrest, backrest and leg supports but also complete adjustment to any individual sitting profile. This lounge chair has a structure made of PVC-covered steel linked by a carbon fiber sheet, leather-covered steel armrests and foot, sitting is upholstered in soft white leather. In perfect good condition.
