Design

Your body shape is unique. When it comes to finding an office chair that’s high performance and high comfort, it’s personal.

Design for Every Body

Easy to Personalize

With the Body Curve Adjustment, it takes just seconds to customize the fit of the backrest. Pushing down the levers on the sides of the backrest broadens the curve for a more related fit, ideal for those with a larger stature. Pulling the levers up forms a narrower curve for a firmer fit, ideal for a smaller build.

During product development, we measured the waist circumference of a hundred people, closely observing the differences we found. The answer is our exclusive Body Curve Adjustment. It’s easy to experience a superb fit by simply flipping the levers on the backrest.

Designed to Flex

Sylphy’s backrest frame was designed to bend slightly with the motion of your body. This is achieved with a unique Double-structured frame, joined together by minimal touchpoints. The supple inner frame, which comes in direct contact with your back, supports the frame provides structural durability and strength, to give you a more comfortable, natural posture.

Designed to Curve

The form of the chair is designed to wrap around your body to create a comfortable seating experience with just the right amount of curve. Okamura’s Multi-Density Cushion provides softer support at the front of the seat, reducing pressure on the thighs for improved circulation. Denser cushioning at the back firmly supports the hips for stability and improved posture.

The synchro-tilt Mechanism moves the backrest and seat in sync for increased comfort and support. With both standard reclining and forward tilt functions you can choose from free-flow recline, or locked positions to accommodate various needs and work styles. The Forward-tilt Function allows the seat to tilt forward 10 degrees. so Sylphy can support you even through long periods of intensive computer work, by keeping the pelvis in a neutralized position.
