The Knoll Generation Chair
Knoll office chairs have been shining examples of great
office furniture. The Knoll
Generation
chair are widely known as a superior chair. Knoll produces
it's Generation chair in varied frame and chair colors. The
breathable net-mesh back flexes and is made up of individual
flexing components and adjustable parts which respond to the
user's movement and allow them to change the chair to suit them.
The arms which are are individually colored and carpeted also
have adjustable heights and pivots. The base has adjustable
height and the color matches the frame color. The Knoll
Generation chair offers a new way to define a chair that offers
comfort and unrestrained movement. It supports a large range of
postures and work styles. Knoll ensures that a person using it
will be able to sit how they want, even when sitting to the side
in their chair.
Researchers from Knoll and Formway design, showed that that
people in work environments can be classified into working
types, each with it's own set of positions. The first they
modeled was "focus work", where a person works alone at a desk,
often sitting back or forward. The second is "share work", where
workers manage or advise others. The third is "team work" where
workers are involved in work with others. The last is "active
work" where workers engage in activity-based work. The
researchers noticed that while people often work in these four
types of sitting positions, work environments are set up more
often for what they termed to be a "standard, old fashioned"
ways of sitting. Armed with this research, knoll chose to create
a chair that would assist workers in all four modes with a
single chair.
