generation work chair

Generation by Knoll offers a new standard of comfort and unrestrained movement, supporting the range of postures and work styles typical of today's workplace. Designed by Formway Design, Generation takes the idea of elastic design-where a product rearranges itself in response to its user-to a new level. Generation is the result of Formway Design's research into how people sit throughout the day. Recognizing the basic assumption about office seating-that there is one optimal way to sit-was flawed, Formway and Knoll joined forces to create a chair that moves as you move. Generation doesn't force you to choose between freedom of movement and continuous support, but, instead, provides both, simultaneously. Generation redefines the modern office with innovative features that make work easier.

This revolutionary work chair reflects Knoll's commitment to environmental sustainability. Generation is the first chair to earn a SMaRT© Sustainable Platinum rating. It is also GREENGUARD Children & Schools certified and can contribute to achieving LEED® points.

Generation moves as you move, encouraging free expression, creativity and engagement at work. The Flex Seat offers 270 degrees of seat edge flex without a hard frame or obtrusive levers along the seat perimeter. It features adjustments for seat height, as well as 3" of seat depth adjustment. A tilt selector allows for additional resistance in the recline. The synchronized recline of the Dynamic Suspension control counterbalances your body weight, resulting in a smooth and effortless ride. The Generation arm provides 4.5" of height adjustment. High performance arms incorporate a free-floating arm pad that naturally adjusts as you change from a task-oriented position to a side seated posture. And an optional height-adjustable lumbar attachment is available for those who need additional support. With its many color and finish choices, Generation by Knoll can energize space much in the same way that it energizes users.

very rewarding

great chair for great comfort and work experience. Marvelous! I sit hours at the office with no back pain nor strain. I love it and will recommend it in a heartbeat! It would be great to have one at home, too, during these work from days. I cherish it.
