Ergonomically Arched Seats

The B-LINE Chairs Provide Safe Work Furniture for Everyday Use

— May 11, 2016 — Art & Design
The B-LINE chairs produced by designer Karim Rashid provide consumers with ergonomic work furniture that is designed to be safe and comfortable for the body during prolonged periods of stationary sitting. The chairs are designed with a specially engineered arched back that provides support to the body without compromising on design.

The collection of chairs featured in the B-LINE range include simplistic yet modern seats constructed out of plastic materials. The seats feature four legs that cross in the centre to create a supportive base for the curved plastic tub seat. The unit is made from one continual piece of plastic, specifically shaped to support the back of the sitter. The simplistic shape of the chair renders the seat functional for a variety of spaces and layouts.
