Design by KOMPLOT DESIGN 2002 · www.howe.com/GENUS GENUS Komplot Design’s hallmark has always been a bold Scandinavian style with a strong international appeal - the Genus chair is no exception. This innovative conference chair has a lot to offer in terms of materials, construction, comfort and handling. The minimalist aesthetic is combined with unique functional features, such as the spring controlled flexing back, and easy stacking and handling. The soft-touch armrests are another of the highly appreciated designed details: they are cleverly designed to allow the chair to hang on the edge of the table, leaving the floor clear for cleaning and the tabletop without scratches.
