The FS-Line.Sit with ease.

All individual components are designedfor maximum functionality and longevity and with great attention to detail. The slender, ergonomically designedseat shell in hardwearing, through-dyed polypropylene has firm upholstery in air-permeable polyurethane with adetachable cover. It is mounted and secured by means of integral steelbandings. The distinctive swing armrests in die-cast aluminium follow the line of the backrest. They combine high- performance stability with a curved,dynamic appearance which marks theunmistakable silhouette of the FS-Line. Last but not least, the slender five-starbase in die-cast aluminium provides stability in any position. The key designfeatures are the finely coordinated radiiand a high-grade finish. By means of two steel springs, the easily accessible, patented auto-synchro adjustment mechanism allows the counter-pressure of the backrest to beregulated individually by means of ahandwheel, so that the chair can be adjusted to the user’s weight withinseconds. The flexible armrests in high-performance polypropylene provide a comfortable support and adjust fullyautomatically in height, inclination andlength, depending on movement andthe seat/backrest angle of the shell. Three swivel axes are designed to allow the seat, backrest andarmrests to follow any movementand change in posture.For sitting up straight, lounging or stretching out: the ingeniouscombination of a flexible structure and an elastic shell providessupport and adjustment in anysitting position – and the mechanism is infinitely variable and fully automatic.

Sitting-related illnesses have become the most frequent occupational disease – in spite of the fact that ”ergonomic” office chairs suppliers have been developed for some thirty years. In line with the belief that ”a lot helps a lot”, an array of levers, knobs and mechanisms are supposed to guarantee individual adjustment to the human body and a ”correct” sitting position. The result: daily practice reveals that most chairs manufacturer are incorrectly adjusted or not adjusted at all. What is more: this serves to exacerbate lack of exercise as every adjustment operation is an obstacle to change in posture, which all ergonomists postulate. This ”adjustment craze” apparently leads to a dead-end that is both costly and painful.The FS-Line is, however, quite different as it promotesmovement: a spacious, supporting seat shell which allowsdifferent sitting positions and adjusts to the individual with high flexibility, and an aesthetically pleasing, minimalist frame structure comprising swing arms, compact automatic synchro-adjustment, a pedestal and a five-star base. Adjustyour preferred seat height by engaging the lever, and onlyonce do you need to adjust the tension of the backrest to your individual weight – then leave everything else to the FS-Line.Today, this simplicity is more important than ever before:innovative forms of organization such as desksharing,project work and telework require product concepts which are self-explanatory and function with the smallest amount of adjustment, and where the potential for wear and tear has been kept to a minimum.
