What Haworth highlights

  • Synchronized 3-point tilt

    Seat and back tilt together, and a back lock holds the seat back upright. A 5° forward tilt is an option.

  • Asymmetrical lumbar

    Haworth's patented lumbar option lets you set each side of the lower back separately.

  • Seat depth and waterfall edge

    The seat slides 3" to set its depth, and its front edge curves down.

  • Materials and arms

    Very comes in mesh, digital knit or leather. Arms come as 4D, height-adjustable or fixed.
