Sculptural Task Chairs

Essa Refreshes the Look and Comfort of Ergonomic Office Chairs

Ergonomic office chairs are essential for productivity and comfort yet they are not often aesthetically pleasing, or they are complicated to adjust thanks to a series of mechanisms. Essa, designed by Luke Pearson and Tom Lloyd of PearsonLloyd for Teknion, boasts a sculptural shape that's designed to support the active worker. The design of the task chair offers a softer touch and adapts to the changing needs of workplaces, or, home offices.

The Essa chair is thoughtfully constructed to consider the natural contours of the body at rest, all the while offering flexible features for collaborative work settings. Available with or without armrests, the task chair can be adjusted with natural movements, so that finding comfort is easy, rather than a struggle. With its fully upholstered or upholstered with plastic back options, Essa is a stylish choice for all offices.
