Attitude at altitude.
Without the need for a bulky mechanism,the chair can accommodate a longer gaslift achieving both higher and lower ranges of seat height, ideal for use with height adjustable desks. This means a better fit for all users and the ability to perch at a higher level when resting from standing or working at bar height.

Supporting the fast mov ng and energet c work sett ngs we see in the workp ace today is chal eng ng The furn ture required to encourage and promote this approach needs to be l ght, responsive dynam c and easi y reconf gurab e Shar ng deas and del vering product vity should be fun and consequentl y people thrive when a l assoc ated work tools impercept b y ass st the connected workforce in a s mple, easy to use way
This quest for s mpl c ty went hand in hand w th the singular driving force of demater a isation throughout the AllowMe development process There are 75% fewer parts than a typ cal task cha r Th s signif gant reduct on n part count and mater al m x ensures that the chair can be eff c entl y ma nta ned or remanufactured to ensure maximum potentia l fecycle s ach eved

Environmental activism by Design No Staples No Glue
The seat structure is novel in its conception - By challenging the traditional method of upholstering chairs, for waste reduction and ease of remaking, not onl y has the part count been reduced, but the flexibility in performance and lifecycle potential has increased The seat front edge acts like a springboard deflecting under load as you change position in the chair or shift to an almost upright perched posture
