TASK SEATING

With one look you will know that Alt3 representsthe modern alternative to the traditional task chair,but reclining in it will give you all the proof youneed that it is starting a revolution in seating. The Alt3 line looks like nothing else because it is like nothing else. Guided by a shared vision toprovide superior lumbar support, each memberof the family is uniquely crafted to optimize itscontributions to the cause.

While the mesh and fabric chairs relate to oneanother, freeing them from the restrictionsimposed by common components allows eachdesign to use its materials to maximum effect.This concept of a design family also allows eachmember to address sustainability and comfortissues in individual ways.

The Fabric Task Chair with its rectilinear shapeand formidable back makes a statement that ishard to miss. Creating visual impact from everyangle, its most obvious design feature is also anintegral part of the chair’s function. A sculpturalopen-frame detail posterior to the back providesnecessary support and rigidity for the structurewhile allowing the upholstered back to flex as dictated by the automatic lumbar system.

That hallmark system allows the chair back to follow the natural curves of the thoracic and lumbar spine in an upright and fully reclined position, as well as at every stop along the way.Continuous contact with the chair’s back provides continuous support for the spine andincomparable comfort over extended use.

Comfort isn’t just about contact however.Personal preference and fit also play a role. In addition to typical seat height and depth adjustments, both the tension and angle of theback-tilt can be customized via controls beneaththe seat of the Fabric and Mesh Task Chairs.

Removeable Upholstery -makes replacing faded orworn fabric in the field asnap, for one chair or onehundred.

Adjustable Back Tension -customizes the force neededto recline in the Mesh Backand Fabric Task Chairs.

Back Motion - provided by the automatic lumbarsupport system is unlike any other task chair.

ALT3®

The Alt3 Mesh Task Chair approaches both lumbar support and design from a slightly differentperspective. It too maintains constant contact with the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spinein a reclined position, but relies upon a differenttechnology to do so.

The mesh material itself provides flexibility, while the reinforced frame supplies the rigidityrequired for real support. The exaggerated curves of the frame guide the mesh into complexthree-dimensional shapes that follow the contoursof the upper and lower back. The “mesh pocket”created for the lower back can also be bolsteredby an optional lumbar support system. This additional lumbar support can be adjusted inheight and depth to provide a targeted, moreintense foundation for the user in an upright position.

These technical innovations are mirrored bydesign details that outshine typical matte blackmesh chairs. Five-star bases of the entire Alt3 line can be specified in polished aluminum in addition to black nylon, and the task and conference chairs’ colorful mesh inserts—from sophisticated Champagne to bold PoppyRed—allow them to contribute to the designpalette instead of merely standing out of its way.

ALT3®

With its emphasis on ease-of-use in short-termseating conditions, the Alt3 Conference Chair alsoapproaches support and design from a uniqueposition. Like the Mesh Task Chair, its back relieson the frame’s curves and resulting “mesh pocket”to provide constant contact and lumbar support.The depth and height adjustments required by the task chair’s additional lumbar support systemhowever, make that option impractical for theConference Chair.

For similar reasons, the Conference Chair alsoeliminates the seat depth adjustment, retains afixed seat–back angle, and is available with anauto-height/auto-return pneumatic cylinder. Thiscylinder returns the chair to its original forwardfacing and highest seat positions when the userstands, which provides a tidy look for the spaceand uniform seating experience for its subsequentoccupants.

Even the fixed loop arms of the Conference Chairare designed to be comfortable without any userinput. In contrast, the T-arms of the task chairscan be adjusted in height and front-to-back. Theycan also be pivoted outward to provide a degreeof width customization.

The arms of the Alt3 family members also serveto highlight another difference between them,their approach to sustainability. While all threechairs use recycled content, renewable materials,and meet SCS standards for indoor air quality, the arm caps of the Alt3 Fabric Task Chair go onestep further. Not only is the outer polyurethanelayer of the cap recyclable, but because it is notfused to the underlying layers, the entire cap canalso be separated and recycled more easily.

With modern sensibilities, modern design cues,and a modern take on lumbar support, Alt3 isleading a revolution in seating. Are you ready totake up the cause?
