Selected as “Our Pick for Best Office Chair” by New York Times Wirecutter, 2015-2024
Best-in-Class Performance
Designed for Movement
Gesture encourages movement and supports the greatest range of postures in three ways: through the back, the seat and the arms. With 3D LiveBack®, Gesture mimics the natural motion of the spine contouring to the user, creating the deepest recline.
Designed for Connection
As you work across multiple devices, Gesture keeps your posture healthy and keeps you connected to your work. The 360 arms allow you to bring the arms up and in towards your body to avoid Text Neck.
Designed for You
Everybody’s different, and everybody sits differently, Gesture comfortably supports a range of people. The 360-degree arms have the largest width range of any chair on the market. Ideal for users who sit for long periods of time and prefer a dialed in, precise fit.
Global Posture Study
Inspired by the human body, designed for the way we work today
Through our Global Posture Study, we observed over 2,000 people on six continents in a wide range of postures. Through this study we found nine new postures that are not adequately address by current seating solutions – until Gesture.
