Embrace 3
EMBRACE Prepare to be hugged. By Embrace. A new type of chair. Designed with care and thought. With feeling. Created not only for different meetings. But visitors too. Individual work. Social moments. And more. A chair family designed by Stefan Brodbeck. Who has created different versions from a clear basic concept and shape. Harmonising materials. Wood. Fabric. Plastic. Or metal. Soft appealing lines. Inviting and pleasant. A calming expression. Sit down. Feel secure and prepared. Ready for new challenges. Impressions and inspiration. Ready to embrace the day. UNIQUE CHAIR FAMILY Embrace is an appealing and unique chair family. Designed to suit many different types of environments and in numerous different contexts. Everywhere. And anywhere in between. To be used for all types of meetings. In larger or smaller groups. When you need to work a while. Or for a spontaneous conversation. To wait or take a break. Whatever you want and more. Both flexible and functional. An entire family of chairs has been designed from a basic concept and design idea. A total concept. With the same gentle lines and recognition. With changing expressions and characteristics depending on choice of finish and materials. Embrace is a new type of versatile chair that suits today’s working life. That provides new thoughts and ideas. With creativity and a balanced design.

EMBRACE MEANS EXACTLY THAT Embrace is designed to give a calming and appealing expression. With a focus on softness, balance and simplicity. But also embracing. An openness for new impressions and new ideas. Creativity. Innovation. And comfortable. Shaped for many different situations. A concept with a recognisable soft and simple design. A homely feeling at work. With strength in model numbers and various options. Different underframes. Where metal meets wood or plastic. Different fabrics. With or without armrests.
Embrace 5
SOFTNESS. BALANCE. SIMPLICITY.

Embrace has been globally acclaimed and awarded prizes for its design. In 2014 the chair received a bronze medal from the German Designer Club (DDC) and in 2015 it was awarded two very prestigious design awards - iF Design Award and Red Dot Award.
“With Embrace, I wanted to design a versatile and functional chair family with a unique expression. Humanistic, creative and flexible. With gentle curves that make it calming and embracing”. Stefan Brodbeck

A NEW TYPE OF CHAIR Embrace is a unique and versatile chair. A functional meeting chair. An inviting visitor chair. Or a chair for shorter periods of individual work. A new type of chair. For new uses. That is everything and more. It is what you want it to be. The selection in the Embrace family means it can be used in larger or smaller groups. Meetings, group work or discussions. Individual work. Social moments or simply taking a break. It adapts to both situations and needs. As well as having an appealing design at the same time. A gentle and harmonious expression. Its flexibility in design and functionality makes it a great choice in activity based working environments (Kinnarps Next Office – ABW) where the chair is used by different individuals and in different environments.

FUNCTIONS & OPTIONS
DIFFERENT BACKS Embrace is available with an elegant wooden back (beech, birch, oak or walnut) or an appealing plastic back (white or black). The different back options are in harmony with the other chair details such as the armrests, seat and underframe.
BACKÂ CUSHION The wooden back Embrace is also available with an upholstered pad to the front. This provides comfortable back support and is a well-designed chair detail. The fabric in the back cushion matches the fabric you selected for the seat.
ARMRESTS Embrace chairs are available with or without armrests. It is possible to fit armrests to all models at a later stage. The rests provide pleasant relief for your arms while still being stylish in design. The armrest limbs are available in a black, white, silver or chrome-plated finish. Armrest pads are always black.
GLIDES The underframe glides makes it easy to use the chair and reduces noise substantially. Plastic glides are standard but glides with a felt pad are available as options.
SWINGBACK FUNCTION It is possible to get an automatic swingback (SWB) function for chairs fitted with 4-star bases. This means the chair always returns back to its original position i.e. facing straight ahead when you stand up.
CASTORS The Embrace chair fitted with a 5-star base has castors. This makes the chair flexible and easy to move. This is perfect if there is a need to rearrange the chairs for different types of meetings and work groups or for a temporary workplace. Castors with friction brakes are available as optional extras.
