Features & Benefits

The LIFE chair adapts to you, making movement easy. It responds and adapts to your body - allowing you to keep working without having to worry about adjustments. 

Because of its light, luminescent quality the LIFE chair complements the office surrounding it rather than dominating it.

LIFE analyses body weight and automatically adjusts to hold you in balance as you recline. A flexing seat and back for the perfect balance of dynamic movement and structural stability – automatically.  Superb comfort as the suspension fabric moulds to your shape providing even load spread across your entire back (not just in the lumbar region).

Low-profile chair base provides a comfortable resting place for your feet.

Life is also independantly certified by Good Environmental Choice Australia (GECA) and Environmental Choice New Zealand (ECNZ).

The LIFE chair is a breakthrough in ergonomic and environmental design, the result of extensive workplace research and how people sit and behave in these environments.

  • Natural fluid movement – the LIFE chair’s geometry allows the seat and back plans to move in sync with your body, providing constant support without constraining your movements
  • Flexing Support – the amount of flex in the back is automatically tuned to your weight so that you get the benefits of flexing and stretching no matter what your size. The flexing seat responds to your leg movements. Whether your legs are tucked under or stretched out in front, the seat adapts perfectly.
  • Auto Balance Recline Tension – The LIFE chair automatically adjusts to hold you in balance in any position as you recline. No matter who you are, big or small, the recline tension is right for you – no manual adjustments.
  • Constant Eye Level – As you recline your eye line remains virtually constant. This means you can move continually as you work, without having to refocus when computing or interacting. 
  • Intuitive controls – easy and obvious but each chair comes with permanent pull out instructions – just in case.
