Summary

A Paul Brooks-designed task chair whose backrest hinges to move with you, built to be taken apart and reused.

  • Users who want to set everything while seated.

What Ahrend highlights

  • Hinged backrest

    A patented hinge in the backrest gives extra flexibility. Ahrend says it adds freedom of movement while you sit.

  • Netweave back and honeycomb seat

    The medium-height plastic back is covered in netweave upholstery. The upholstered seat has a honeycomb structure built in.

  • Lumbar and 3D arms

    The lumbar support adjusts in height, and the 3D armrests adjust in height, width and depth. Ahrend says the arms let you sit close to your desk.

  • Modular build

    Parts can be replaced and recycled separately. Ahrend says half the chair's weight is recycled material.

As described by Ahrend on its official pages; not a Chairpedia assessment.
