by Brianna Crandall — November 9, 2015—The Dauphin HumanDesign Group (DHDG) revealed two new ergonomic chairs at this year’s A+A occupational safety and health event: one designed for fatigue-free sitting even during 24-hour shift work with changing users, and one for “all-around” use in industrial settings.
The DHDG stand at this year’s A+A centered around integrated solutions for ideal workplace design in industry and offices, with an emphasis on practicality. It showcased innovative seating and furnishing solutions for various working areas within an industrial company — from production, workshop, laboratory and clean room areas to electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection zones and even management areas with office furniture.
“@Just 24/7” for round-the-clock sitting
For 24-hour workstations, the DHDG’s successful Dauphin brand presented for the first time a new work chair from the “@Just” range. It was created for the demanding situations encountered during round-the-clock shift work with changing users.
With its patented seat mechanism, the chair helps users to sit correctly and thus takes the strain off the spinal column. At the same time, it allows the freedom of movement needed for dynamic sitting with small changes in posture. This helps to prevent fatigue resulting from sitting still for long periods, avoids one-sided loads being placed on the body, and encourages concentration.
Since chairs at 24-hour workstations must meet the requirements of various users of different sizes and builds, intuitive operation and rapid adjustment of the chair’s backrest counterpressure allow shift workers to adjust the chair effortlessly to their individual requirements.
“Tec allround” industrial chair
Dauphin also unveiled an innovative “all-around” industrial chair at the trade fair. The new, versatile “Tec Allround” work chair combines outstanding ergonomics with a wide range of functions, ease of operation, and robust construction to meet the needs of various working areas and users.
A wide range of components and features can be selected according to requirements. For example, the new industrial chair from Dauphin is available in hard-wearing polyurethane for workshop and production areas. In contrast, the laboratory version features special imitation leather that is disinfectant-resistant yet pleasant to the touch.
