Take Your Pick
Select from two ergonomic mesh chair back designs: the original Series 1 3D Microknit Back or Series 1 Air Back.
The Air Back option features a specially engineered geometric wave pattern that flexes in two dimensions to encourage movement and posture changes while providing the spine with responsive support.
The 3D Microknit Back features a system of flexors tucked neatly inside the backrest, which mimic your spine to provide flexibility and continuous lower-back support.
