Personalised Back Support

World boasts a backrest that is designed with patented Form Sensing Mesh Technology, which leverages the laws of physics to eliminate the need for a separate lumbar support. This innovative technology ensures that the chair’s backrest conforms perfectly to the sitter’s entire back, providing a custom fit and eliminating the need for manual adjustments. By eliminating pressure points, this feature offers maximum comfort and support to the user.

Comfort-Optimised Design

The World task chair features a lightweight design that replaces the standard cushion seat with a non-stretch, low-abrasion mesh for maximum comfort. By eliminating the front edge of the chair, which can cause pressure on the knees and thighs, this feature ensures long-lasting comfort and total support for every user. This innovative design solves the enduring problem of hard edges and contact stress, providing a comfortable sitting experience for extended periods of time.
