Office Chairs for Businesses with Certified Ergonomics.

Mesh is breathable and keeps your back cool during long workdays or in warm offices; models such as Avanti, Veratti and Parma use it. Veg-leather —PU upholstery with no animal leather— gives a more formal, understated look and is easy to clean; models such as Merino, Nuvola and Verona use it. The choice depends on the climate, daily use and the image you want the office to project.

A synchro mechanism reclines the backrest and seat together and usually locks in several positions; it follows the body better when you switch between screen work and leaning back during a call or meeting. Reclining mechanisms with multi-position lock and tension adjustment let you set how much the backrest gives according to each person's weight. If the chair is used more than six hours a day, prioritize a mechanism with a lock and adjustable tension.

They indicate in how many directions the armrests adjust. 3D armrests adjust three ways —usually height, depth and pivot— and 4D armrests add one more adjustment to bring the support closer to the body. They let you keep your elbows at desk height and relax your shoulders. Among our executive chairs, Capri and Veratti have 4D armrests, and Malta and San Pietro have 3D armrests.

It works for long workdays as long as it has the right adjustments. Several of our executive chairs —Avanti, Veratti, Capri and Malta— rank at the top of our ergonomics scale (5 out of 5), with adjustable or self-adjusting lumbar support. High-back upholstered models such as Nuvola and Verona prioritize presence and comfort for executive use that alternates between the desk and meetings.

Polished aluminum bases, like those on Merino, Nuvola, Verona and Malta, reinforce the premium look of the office. As for casters, the 60 mm (2.4 in) polyurethane (PU) casters on models such as Parma, Avanti and Capri roll over carpet and over hard floors such as wood or porcelain tile without marking them.

Yes. Models such as Nuvola, Merino, Verona and San Pietro come in an executive version and a guest version with the same design language. That way, the desk chair and the chairs facing it look like a set, which is especially noticeable in leadership offices.
