Referred to as the "living seat" for its intuitive movement and controls, the Life Chair (2002) provides flexible comfort in a sleek, minimalist package. The Chair's 360° swivel uses body weight for resistance, holding your sight line at a constant level for enhanced comfort and reduced back, neck and shoulder strain. The textured fabrics of the seat and back are designed so every square inch is breathable, no matter where your body chooses to shift and settle. The Life Chair has earned praise for its low impact on the environment. It uses a minimum of materials in its construction and clean manufacturing technology, such as integral coloring on plastic components, burnished aluminum that doesn't need to be treated or painted and zero-VOC paints and adhesives. The Life Chair has garnered its share of design awards, including Winner of Best of NeoCon Gold Award and IIDEX for Office Seating and Sustainable Design. The Chair contains 60% recycled content and 70% of the component parts are readily recyclable. The Life Chair is a registered trademark of Knoll®, Inc. Note: the seat and back materials differ, and are in complementary – not identical – colors.
