ORGATEC 2026: The New Office Chairs, Brand by Brand

ORGATEC 2026 ran in Cologne from 27 to 30 October 2026. This roundup lists the new chairs that brands presented there, as described on each brand's own website or press kit. Several of them are announced but not on sale yet; where a launch date is published we give it, and we leave out anything the brands have not stated (prices, most dimensions). Last checked 7 November 2026.

Interstuhl: a new PURE and the VEOH family

PURE (2027 edition) is a further development of the current PUREis3. It keeps the Smart-Spring principle — a flexible polyamide–glass-fibre spring instead of a conventional mechanism — and adds a continuous knitted cover across seat and backrest (rated by Interstuhl for 100,000 abrasion cycles) and built-in 4D armrests. Interstuhl gives up to 22° of upper-back flexibility, a backrest opening angle of up to 38°, and up to 26° of seat movement plus 12° forward movement. It is available from February 2027.

VEOH, designed with Phoenix Design, is a chair family with a shell-like clasp around seat and back, in a Performance version (fluted plastic backrest) and a Platinum version (wooden brace, upholstered backrest). The conference chair launches on 22 February 2027; a swivel chair follows later in the year. Depending on the model it offers seat depth adjustment, seat tilt and a concealed lumbar support.

Interstuhl also showed MOVIQ (a board for standing and a seat accessory for movement while working, from February 2027) as part of its "Office is Active" concept. These are not chairs, so they get no chair page.

Sedus: black dot next and se:meet

black dot next is the next generation of the black dot swivel chair in Sedus's New Arrivals Winter 2026/2027, shown as "coming soon". It comes with a membrane, 3D-knit or upholstered backrest, armrests from none up to 4D, an optional sliding seat (7 or 10 cm adjustment) and two "Similar" mechanisms (automatic or individual weight adjustment, opening angle up to 26°), plus a counter version. black dot next: coming-soon page · current black dot · source: Sedus Spaces that care / New Arrivals.

How this list was made

Only the brands' own websites, product pages and press kits were used; trade-fair and third-party news sites were not. Brands whose sites we do not access, or whose news we could not read, are not included yet. Figures are the brands' own; Chairpedia has not tested these chairs.
