About CYNARA

Weightless beauty. Effortless support.

Experience the impossible lightness and effortless support of CYNARA, a task chair that integrates intuitive, responsive functionality with a clean-cut, refined aesthetic to complete any work setting.

CYNARA’s understated will blend harmoniously into all the places people – work from office, to co-working and home office settings – breathing quiet sophistication and calm productivity into any environment.

By paring back to its essential form and function, CYNARA achieves impossible lightness. The frame flexes to provide responsive ergonomic support, eliminationg the need for a complex mechanism. The result is simple, functional, light-scale beauty.
