Ergonomics
The Think chair is the simplest, most streamlined embodiment of our deep understanding of people who sit, and how they sit throughout the day.
The Think chair's ergonomic features include:
|
a.Your Profile™ Seat and Back
Back flexors track with the individual movement of your spine and pelvis. The back flexors are individually shaped to the human form to provide optimum support for each area of the back. Seat flexors conform to your shape, providing a dynamic comfort pocket.
b. Your Power™ Mechanism
The Your Power Mechanism moves as fluidly as the human body does. It provides recline support in proportion to your own body weight, while keeping you oriented to your work.
c. Adjustable Arms
The Think chair's arms retract up to three inches upon contact with your worksurface, allowing you to get closer to your work. They also pivot and move up and down to provide natural support.
d. Flexible Seat Edge
When you recline or lean forward, the seat edge flexes to relieve pressure on the back of the legs.
e. Your Preference™ Control
The Your Preference Control combines four comfort settings into one simple dial. Select your favorite setting : weight activated, weight activated with at 20% boost, mid-stop recline, and upright back lock.

Designed by Glen Oliver Löw
German designer Glen Oliver Löw says of the creation of the Think chair, "Design isn't just about style. It's about integrity of materials, functional integrity and intent. Think is a truthful chair - the result of open dialogue between engineers, environmentalists, and the designer." Löw worked as the design partner of Antonio Citterio for over a decade, together creating accessible, clean, modern forms. Today, Löw continues to create designs that are transparent in their function. He says, "Transparency means that you show each component of the chair, that you can read its structure and understand how it works."
