Description
The Generation Chair lets you sit how you want—offering a deeper level of comfort, flexibility, and support with more intuitive ergonomics and fewer adjustments. New Zealand’s Formway designed this chair to take the idea of elastic design, where products adapt to the user, to the next level.
Launched in 2009, Generation redefined and expanded the parameters and expectations of how people sit at work. With its comfort and unrestrained movement, this chair reflects Knoll’s commitment to innovation, thoughtful design, and environmental sustainability.
