Description

Sit back and let physics do its job. With a proprietary performance textile and surprisingly light frame, Steelcase Karman goes beyond leading mesh office chairs to provide effortless comfort.

Beyond Comfort. Beyond Mesh.

Steelcase Karman's design relies more on physics than mechanism - intuitively responding to your movement and weight. It provides effortless comfort.

It was this notion of ‘Going Beyond’ and pushing the boundaries of material science and design that helped inspire the name of this chair. The Kármán Line is where the Earth’s atmosphere meets space, weightlessness becomes possible and going beyond becomes a reality.

It goes beyond the expectations of a traditional mesh office chair and provides a completely new sitting experience.

Specifications:

A weight-activated mechanism responds automatically to your body as you sit and change postures in every direction.
Patented hybrid seat uses the suspension seat with integrated cushioning, which provides maximum comfort for as long as you sit.
Comfort edge allows the ultra-light frame flexes to eliminate hard edges and pressure points on your legs and body.
Comfort dial supports four recline positions, letting you dial in the right level of resistance against your back as you recline.
4D armrests are fully adjustable armrests raise up and down, pivot in and out and shift in all directions, letting your arms and shoulders fall into place.
LiveBack™ technology balances body weight, supporting your back and spine while providing responsive comfort and fit.
Adjustable lumbar support for Lux-coated models.
