Things to Consider

With literally hundreds of chair designs and options, navigating seating can be challenging. Technical environments will require a much different seating design where heavy duty use, ergonomic adjustments, clean room, and static control considerations are vital. Office environments are where ergonomics and fit will be the primary considerations.

Here you will find some helpful features and designs to help you get started with your seating decision.

However, we recommend you seek experienced advice to answer your questions.
