Modus. Coherence and diversity. It is the aesthetics of sitting. A light, transparent task chair which forms a striking silhouette. The modus range combines ingeniously simple construction, precision workmanship and high-grade materials with a modular structure. This allows various backrest height options, each of which is optionally available with semi-transparent or non-transparent material. It uses the principle of automatic synchro-adjustment with torsion rods and is the result of years of intensive functional studies.
Delivery time: 2 – 4 weeks
Applications: Commercial
Variations: The Modus chairs are available in four different models Basic, Compact, Medium and Executive. Modus Basic is available as a swivel chair and as a four-legged visitor’s chair. The Modus Compact swivel chairs are available in three different backrest heights and with optional height-adjustable armrests and lumbar support.
The optionally stackable cantilever models and the four legged visitor’s chair are available in two different backrest heights. The Modus Medium models with its elegantly curved armrests are a distinct design feature. The Modus Conference variation is a convincing solution, besides swivel chairs and cantilever versions for conference and meeting applications.
The seat and the backrest of the Modus Executive model group, which is designed to meet the highest requirements in terms of prestige, quality of features and seated comfort, are fitted with slim, luxurious cushions covered in the finest leather.
