What Okamura highlights

  • Synchronized recline with forward tilt

    The seat and back move together. They recline 23° from upright, tilt 10° forward, and lock in four positions.

  • Adjustable arms

    A button under the pad moves the arm up or down through 100 mm. The pad also slides 50 mm and turns 20° in or out.

  • Lumbar support

    On the mesh back, a lumbar support moves within a 60 mm range. Okamura says it adjusts to your build.

  • Movable headrest

    The optional headrest adjusts 100 mm in height and 35° in angle.

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