Today’s agile workspaces feature an ecosystem of spaces designed to adapt to different work styles, whether it be group collaboration or private focused work. It is important not to overlook the transitional, in-between spaces that are essential for us to recharge our mental and physical energy, and keep us connected with our colleagues.

The latest addition to the Steelcase Flex Collection, the Flex Perch Stool provides a place to briefly pause for fluid, spontaneous collaboration, while encouraging a leaning stance that relieves pressure, engages the core and promotes healthy posture. With its one-piece design moulded from Ultramid® B3EG6 Ccycled™ nylon material, this nestable seating solution offers a quick place to sit at an ideal angle of 7.2 degrees – the perfect resting point between standing and sitting.

The act of perching promotes an open pelvic angle that discourages slouching, and enables better breathing by keeping the chest open. This dynamic posture invites movement, activates the mind and optimises collaborative behaviours and ideation.

Super lightweight, with glides that work on hard floors and carpet, the Flex Perch allows teams to adapt spaces on the fly. Fan them out across the room for a quick think or sharing session, or create active learning spaces on demand. When not in use, these stools can be nested in a compact row, allowing organisations to save space and maximise efficiency.

Derived from a collaboration with BASF, Steelcase Flex Perch is the first furniture product that reduces the use of fossil resources and its carbon footprint through CCycling. This innovation in sustainability transforms post-consumer waste from manufacturing electronics into a high strength nylon that is ideal for furniture design.
