Mendola
with ProBax速 Advanced Seating Technology
“The Mendola chair with ProBax® Advanced Seating Technology brings a new level of comfort to your events” Designed by Peter Roth, the Mendola chair is a contemporary multi-purpose aluminium chair perfect for banquet and conference venues. The design incorporates ProBax® Advanced Seating Technology which has been awarded with the FIRA Innovation Award. The design also incorporates our exclusive lightweight triangular extrusion with an upholstered multi-contoured shell, and is available with or without arms.
Most seats allow the seat occupant to slump into a Kyphotic position where the spine is placed in an unnatural ‘C’ shape.
ProBax® is a system of foam inserts incorporated directly within the seat base. The inserts are of a specific geometrical design and are placed in a precise location within the existing foam base. This leads to a dramatically improved seated posture resulting in greater comfort levels. With the ProBax® system the benefits include: • Improved blood and oxygen flow, translating into proven health benefits and more sustained alertness over time. (Maximum Venous Outflow (MVO) testing - a means for calculating relative blood flow in the lower extremities - has shown that ProBax® infused seating improves vascular performance by an average of 12% to 13%.) • An increased perception of space between rows, even though the physical distance is unchanged. • Reduced movement and less fidgeting amongst the audience, greatly enhancing concentration levels and audience focus. • For banquet seating the improved, more upright posture aids digestion.
The ProBax® system allows a more natural Lordotic ‘S’ shaped curvature of the spine, greatly reducing back and neck pain, and increasing comfort dramatically.
The simple aesthetic created by the elegant lines of the Mendola chair still retains the high standards of functionality and strength for which Burgess products are renowned. It is available in an extensive range of fabrics and frame finishes.
