A Wealth of Variations to Charm


The "Keen Chair" is a meeting and side chair that supports sustained focus by allowing comfortable seating throughout meetings and collaborative spaces.

The average meeting lasts about an hour, during which time a seated person changes posture an average of 53 times.

The Keen Chair features a patented Cradleflex mechanism that instantly responds to the user's postural shifts. It smoothly reclines up to 10 degrees while simultaneously moving the seat forward, reducing strain on the sitter.

The backrest is molded from a polymer material, balancing strength with flexibility. It also offers a light aesthetic and breathability. Furthermore, it's easy to clean, making it suitable for settings used by many different people, like cafes.

Three types of leg bases are available: four-leg, cantilever, and four-star. Upholstery options include seat pads, semi-upholstery, and full upholstery.

By combining the leg base, cradle, seat shell, and upholstery options, you can create a look that fits any space.
