Described by The New York Times as “the gold standard in office seating,” the Freedom chair redefines the concept of traditional task chairs. Designer Niels Diffrient aimed to design an office chair that automatically adapts to the user, allowing them to move freely from posture to posture.
Diffrient’s unique approach removed complexities found in other chairs, such as cumbersome recline levers and back tension dials for a truly ergonomic task chair. As a result, he developed a recline mechanism that perfectly adjusts to the user, definitively reinventing modern task seating to be truly simple, functional and beautiful
Features:
Available in two versions, the everyday Freedom Task and the
executive Freedom Headrest, each chair includes the following
features:
-
Distinctive design sets it apart from other task chairs and
enhances any space
-
Innovative weight-sensitive, self-locking recline mechanism
cleverly uses each sitter’s body weight to perfectly adjust
the tension and recline position of the chair for full support
throughout movement
-
Pivoting backrest automatically moves with the user throughout
the day and offers perfect lumbar comfort in all positions
-
Synchronous arms allow effortless adjustment with one hand
and our unique arm design attaches to the backrest to move
with the user
-
Contoured cushions are sculpted to closely follow the body’s
shape and offer long-term comfort, reduce pressure points and
provide exceptional weight distribution
-
Modular design allows the user to update the aesthetic of the
chair and offers easy maintenance
-
A wide range of specifically created, high-performance textiles
complement the chair’s unique cushion contours to maximize
their comfort, performance and ergonomic function
-
The Freedom Headrest features a dynamic support that cradles
the head and neck during recline, but remains neutral when in
upright positions
