Uniflex Chair

Adapting seamlessly to the body’s movement, Uniflex’s flexing back support, combined with synchronised tilting and arm movement, ensures an anatomically correct seating position with permanent lumbar support. A front pivot mechanism ensures your feet never lose contact with the floor, resulting in a sophisticated chair that retains comfort throughout even the longest of workdays.

Uniflex is designed to support the different ways people work and thanks to its sleek and sophisticated aesthetic, is suited for a variety of applications including the boardroom, meeting room, executive seating and the home office.

Uniflex features an intelligent jacket that can be professionally unzipped and replaced, meaning the chair can last exceptionally longer than traditional, upholstered-style models.

Prior to 2000, executive and middle-management office chairs commonly featured solid backs that could recline but offered no flex. These chairs were not only uncomfortable but also unfavourable in an ergonomic sense. In response, Tony Schiavello started working with a design that featured a flex mechanism halfway down the backrest, a movement that allowed the chair back much more flexibility than had been seen before. This base was used to develop Uniflex, which Tony also made specialty arms for. Pioneering the spring-driven flex design, Uniflex became one of the first flexible chairs of its kind in Australia.
