The Steelseries Karman office chair is new furniture piece created by the brand to accommodate the changing needs of today's digital professional and give the accessory a much-needed update. The chair is achieved using a new proprietary textile called Intermix that will work to evenly distribute weight, while also being flexible, supportive and never stiff or saggy. This works far better than conventional fabric and works in collaboration with the integrated cushioning and frame to eliminate the occurrence of pressure points when seated for extended periods.
The Steelseries Karman office chair weighs in at just 29-pounds and is constructed with sustainable materials as well as the least number of components possible. Expected to go on sale in early 2022, the chair will come in several stylish finish options.
