Fluid, the flexible mesh chair, celebrated for its intelligent engineering
and elegant style, now offers a virtually endless array of seat upholstery
and silver frame accents. With a multitude of features and options for
exquisite support and adjustability, fluid proves a chair can adapt beautifully
to your body's needs and your heart's desires.
Allseating's fluid™ chair, designed by Miles Keller, is a masterful
example of a new emerging category of
office seating. It has evolved from the pairing of resilient, breathable
mesh with an exposed skeletal structure.
Like a well-engineered suspension bridge, fluid™ makes no attempt
to artificially hide or embellish its components.
Designed in the Bauhaus tradition, the form of the chair is an eloquent
expression of the function it enables.
Made with a breathable, elastomeric mesh seat and back, the chair evenly
distributes body pressure while providing
air circulation and eliminating heat build-up.
New technological advances provide the basis for much of the chair's
achievements. The headrest, armrests and
lumbar support are padded with a new, advanced technology gel foam for
exceptional comfort and durability.
Another distinctive feature is that allseating is offering fluid™
in six contemporary colors including three
neutrals and three brights. |
