Simplified Comfort-Focused Task Chairs

The LAYER Design x Allsteel O6 Task Chair is Sculpted

— June 17, 2022 — Art & Design
The LAYER Design x Allsteel O6 task chair is a collaboration furniture design created with comfort, versatility and style in mind to accommodate the needs of modern professionals. The chair is characterized by its balanced form that's soft and curvaceous to enhance comfort during long work days. The chair is achieved using a four-way stretch mesh to further enhance comfort which comes in six color options, while the Spectrum mesh comes in 22 colors.

Founder of LAYER Benjamin Hubert spoke on the LAYER Design x Allsteel O6 office chair saying, "Task chairs typically have a highly technical expression that reflects their focus on functionality. Our collaboration with Allsteel was about finding a way to reduce that technical expression to enhance the sense of visual comfort and create a simple appearance."
