Winner of 10 design awards to date-including the Design Distinction Award in the prestigious ID Design
Review 2000 competition-the Freedom chair by Niels Diffrient has revolutionized the task chair industry.
Its weight-sensitive recline and synchronously adjustable armrests set new standards for task chair performance
and functionality to keep the sitter exceptionally comfortable while also lowering the risk of long-term injury.
Features:1) Recline ActionAs you recline, you'll maintain a near consistent eye level, while the angle between your torso
and legs opens up for better body function.
2) Contoured CushionsThe cushions are sculpted to closely follow body contours, which increase contact and decreases
concentrated loads. Our optional Technogel seat cushion maximizes weight distribution and comfort.
3) Responsive BackrestThe pivoting backrest automatically adapts to the changing needs of your spine during recline.
4) Synchronous ArmrestsFreedom's body-friendly gel armrests move up and down together and stay with you during recline,
always keeping you in supported balance.
5) Body FitThe seat and backrest may be independently positioned to fit your exact body size.
6) Intelligent MechanismWith Freedom's revolutionary counter-balance mechanism, your weight automatically balances the
force required to recline the chair. So whether you're big or small, short or tall, the recline tension is
always perfectly adjusted to let you move while keeping you fully supported in all positions.
