Backrest and balance

While other chairs have various controls that have to be locked into position, Freedom has a single unique function that lets your own body act as a counterweight. The chair remains in exactly the position you want.

When you recline your spine needs more support in the lumbar area than its does when you sit upright. The Freedom backrest adjusts automatically to the changing needs of your spine by providing up to 2,5 cm addtional support in the lumber area when you recline.

Freedom’s revolutionary counterbalance mechanism works like a human-sized weighing scale. As you recline, your weight automatically balances the force required to recline the chair. So, whether you’re big or small, short or tall, Freedom provides just the right amount of recline tension to keep you fully supported in all positions without the need for locks or other manual adjustments.
