Steelcase揭露了专为21世纪工作设计的首先符合人体工程学椅子

Steelcase introduces its latest seating innovation that reimagines and goes beyond other leading mesh chairs. Designed to naturally respond to a body’s movement, it delivers industry-leading comfort and sustainability.

密歇根州9月28日28,2021Grand Rapids。-Steelcase Karman™是首个符合人体工程学的椅子,今天由符合人体工程学座椅设计的全球领导者Steelcase Inc揭幕。Steelcase Karman旨在自然地应对身体的运动,并以一种全新的方式提供舒适感。它的21世纪设计结合了一种新的专有网状纺织品,它不会下垂或感觉僵硬,并具有超光线的框架,可以消除僵硬的边缘,因此,与其他传统网格椅相比,人们对座椅和背部的压力较小。 Weighing only 29 pounds, it’s designed for sustainability, using minimal materials and resources, yet strong enough to support all body types.

40%的人说,根据2019年进行的Steelcase Research的说法,他们需要经常换姿势各种质量,甚至简易的设置,例如沙发,厨房桌子和床。

“我们认为,最好的用户体验是您没有注意到的一种,因此我们想设计一张椅子,使舒适毫不费力,可以像您一样响应和移动,并且适合所有类型的身体。  And we wanted to give it a presence that looks great in the home or the workplace,” said James Ludwig, vice president of global design and engineering.

受Kármán系列的启发,地球的大气层达到了空间,失重变得可能成为可能,而越来越多的人成为现实,Steelcase推动了现有设计和工程的界限,以使用新技术和独特的材料,超越了传统的网状椅子。

Steelcase Design Studio创建了一个独一无二的专利混合座椅,将全新的性能纺织品(称为Intermix)与集成的缓冲系统结合在一起。该团队不是在大多数网状椅子上使用的刚性框架,而是创新了一种系统性的设计方法,其中纺织品从轻巧的框架中悬挂起来,从而消除了痛苦的压力点,并减轻了人们的背部和座位压力。消除僵硬的边缘意味着人们可以舒适地坐着任何想要的方式,倾斜或坐在侧面,这是许多其他网椅不可能的。

InterMix是使用专利的ShrinxtMtechnology的新专有纺织品。它的独家编织可以创造理想的人体工程学支持,因此不会下垂或感觉僵硬。InterMix是一种自支撑的纺织品,具有弹簧,反弹和总稳定性。它在座椅上和背部均匀分配重量,弯曲到个人的运动并安装身体轮廓。

Steelcase Karman还通过提供行业领先的颜色系列(13个专有的Intermix颜色和各种Lux FinishesMakefesmakeflextensive美学选择),超越了其他网状椅子。Intermix细丝可以靠近可观的外观,也可以使外观更远,以使其具有透明,更传统的网眼外观。受运动性能磨损的启发,InterMix可以在编织中包括多种颜色,从不同角度看椅子时会产生颜色转移的外观。

“We also challenged ourselves to push the boundaries of traditional performance chairs by reducing the number of materials necessary without sacrificing comfort. We designed a chair with sustainable materials that weighs only 29 pounds – less than other mesh chairs — yet the engineering makes it incredibly strong, able to support all shapes and sizes,” notes Ludwig.  “It is the summation of everything we’ve learned over decades about comfort, ergonomics, materiality and the way people work.”

The chair is expected to be available in the Americas and Asia Pacific in early 2022 and in EMEA in the summer 2022. For more information, visitwww.thebalches.com/karman
