What Girsberger highlights

  • Pendulum joints

    The backrest is mounted on an aluminium support with two side pendulum joints on rubber cushions. Girsberger says this keeps the recline in sync with your body and opens the angle between seat and back.

  • Synchronic mechanism

    Seat and back move together, with spring tension you set yourself.

  • Seat depth and tilt

    Seat depth adjusts, and a -3° forward seat tilt can be engaged.

  • Woven-band back

    Some versions have a slim back covered in elastic woven bands, with round aluminium arms capped in leather.

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