Finding a chair that can support the postures and demands of modern working habits can be daunting, especially within the rapidly evolving workplace. We have put together a useful guide of key considerations, to help you select the right chair to suit how and where you work.
2020 was a time like no other for our industry and it invited interesting discussions on the future of the workplace. What was often a niche area of research, blossomed into mainstream discourse. Questions like, “How can we adapt to the new way of working?” or “How do we make the workplace more flexible and inviting for people to return to collaborate?” were crossing people’s minds.
In the extended hours we spend seated at work, our choice of chair impacts our comfort, concentration and wellbeing – whether we’re consciously aware or not. From our work with leading workplace interior designers and global clients, we have seen how seating needs to satisfy four elements for any user: flexibility, mobility, longevity and comfort – all in a form that is pleasing to the eye.
Our conclusion is the Crossover chair range.
