Freedom
Low Back Chair
designed
by Niels Diffrient
Freedom
from locks, freedom to move
Goodbye manual adjustments.
The Freedom chair is designed to give the maximum
ergonomic benefit to the sitter with a minimum number
of manually adjusted controls.
Once the
chair is fitted, no further adjustment is required.
The idea is that movement, which is essential for
a healthy body, shouldn’t be constricted by
locking mechanisms and manual controls. In other words,
sitting comfortably isn’t something you should
have to think about.
The
Freedom chair was designed specifically to encourage
frequent, spontaneous changes of position.
There are no locks and no tension
springs to negotiate. Instead, there are elegant mechanisms
that automatically support your body in every position
you’ll assume throughout the day. Intelligent
Mechanism
Freedom’s revolutionary counterbalance
mechanism works like a human-sized weighing scale.
As you recline, your weight automatically balances
the force required to recline the chair. So, whether
you’re big or small, short or tall, Freedom
provides just the right amount of recline tension
to keep you fully supported in all positions without
the need for locks or other manual adjustments.
High-tech Cushions
The cushions on Freedom are as unique as the rest
of the chair. Molded, not upholstered, they are sculpted
to closely follow body contours, which increases contact
area and decreases concentrated loads.
Our optional gel seat cushion (a first in office seating)
maximizes weight distribution and comfort. And the
unprecedented modular design allows them to be removed
and installed with four screws– making replacement
a snap.
