Be: Movement and Colour

Be chair by Formway Design brings comfort and movement to the workplace, with an added splash of colour.

Be: Movement and Colour


BY

April 16th, 2012


Be is a task chair that matches your movements, offering freedom and support at the same time.

 

The way we work is changing, requiring furniture that is flexible and doesn’t restrict us from the range of movements we need to perform each day.

Be responds to human behaviour. With just three standard intuitive adjustments for seat height, seat depth and recline, all other multidirectional movements require no adjustment at all.

 

The Dynamic suspension offers a smooth, effortless recline motion without the need for manual tension adjustment, while the seat movement is synchronised to keep the eye line virtually constant in different sitting positions.

Be is available from Zenith Interiors in a black or meteor frame with the option of onyx, firecracker, lemongrass or pebble skin.

A lumbar support is an added option, along with arms, polished or nylon base and soft or hard castors.

Dipped in integrity: The profound depth of Aeron Chair’s extended palette

Aeron Chair’s new shades, Nightfall and Jasper, arrive with a sense of quiet cohesion – no bells and whistles, no loud technicolour; just two timeless, perfectly versatile near-neutrals. But the new hues aren’t just about colour – and their significance is much more profound than their surface-level subtlety might suggest.

Stepping into Intuit’s Sydney workplace certainly doesn’t feel like walking into an office. Why?
