by Brianna Crandall — June 28, 2013—Build-to-order office seating provider SitOnIt Seating introduced three new task chair collections—Amplify, Wit and Torsa, which the company says each represent the best of styling, engineering, features, and value in their respective categories—at NeoCon 2013 in Chicago June 10-12. Amplify, which SitOnIt Seating calls “the perfect mainstream task chair,” was an entrant in the Best of NeoCon Competition under the Seating: Ergonomic Desk/Task category.
This stylish new entry demonstrates breakthrough design, a flexible aesthetic and superior engineering, says SitOnIt Seating. The company says Amplify was inspired by fluid movement, and that adjustable lumbar bands give the chair optimum ergonomic support and comfort. Amplify is set apart by its design, comfort and abundance of features compared to other chairs at its price point, says SitOnIt Seating. The chair is ideally suited for task and conference applications where affordability, comfort and style are key considerations.
The sleek, aerodynamic design reportedly gives Amplify power, with the appearance of smart, no-nonsense efficiency. The supportive mesh back, three application-specific arm types, and waterfall seat add ergonomics and comfort to the equation. The eye-catching curvaceous profile and energetic colors deliver style as well as substance. Available in highback or midback models, Amplify may be specified in six breathable solid mesh back colors or an upholstered back.
Amplify was developed and designed by the SitOnIt Seating in-house design team with an eye toward comfort. Four adjustable lumbar bands with a full four inches of travel softly knead the back, ensuring contoured support and enduring comfort. Amplify comes standard with an enhanced synchro mechanism and seat-depth adjustment. Soft, durable height-adjustable arms are standard, with fixed nylon or multi-adjustable (height/width) arms as options. Padded Soft, textured arm pads ensure comfortable support. The swivel tilt option is apt for conference applications.
Hailed as the new “it” chair, the “smart and surprising” Wit task chair features forward-thinking design and unparalleled features at an unbeatable price point, says SitOnIt Seating. With components uniquely designed for Wit, the chair offers features like an adjustable lumbar support, height adjustable arms, and multiple mesh colors that seldom come standard in this category. Inspired by youthful simplicity, Wit is especially useful for collaborative and flexible workspaces. Described as light and airy but extremely robust, the chair can be easily moved with the back handle.
Developed and designed by the SitOnIt Seating in-house design team, the chair reportedly displays a high degree of craftsmanship, with such attention to detail as covering the screws and attachments in the streamlined tubular molding and maintaining a clean design even on the underside of the chair. The upscale, contemporary design shows corporate or individual personality with six mesh color choices and black or silver back frame colors, as well as textured designer arm pads that match the convenient built-in pull handle. The versatile collection includes both mid-back and high-back task chairs and a task stool in two heights.
To deliver the comfort expected from SitOnIt Seating, the integrated adjustable lumbar is designed to provide both functional support and a sleek look. Height-adjustable arms and a synchro mechanism that smoothly adjusts the back and seat together reportedly make the chair ideal for task work. Basic or swivel tilt mechanisms with fixed arms work well for conference and collaboration settings. The comfortable waterfall seat promotes proper leg circulation throughout the day.
Torsa is an elegant, sleek task chair that SitOnIt Seating says marks the company’s entry into high-end design and is expected to be a change catalyst for the high-end seating category. With sculptured design, this flagship chair takes its inspiration from nature and architecture and boasts exceptional comfort for an approachable price. Torsa may be customized to fit the user’s style by personalizing the frame, arm and mesh color combinations, making Torsa a standout in the forest of task chairs.
Both a high-performance work chair and an elegant conference solution, Torsa balances a sculpted design with broad color options and advanced functionality. The chair features a new enhanced synchro control with Comfort Drive that enables the user to easily and precisely adjust the chair settings from a seated position. Textured control knobs ensure grip. The adjustable lumbar support, seat slider, and comfortable waterfall seat make Torsa attractive as a luxury, ergonomic and elegant high-back task or conference chair.
Developed and designed by the SitOnIt Seating in-house design team, Torsa’s customizable options can help set the tone for a workplace. This highback work chair is available in four frame/arm/back support color combinations and a broad range of 10 mesh colors and patterns, including stripes and solids. Graphite, white and polished aluminum base options offer even greater opportunity to express an individual or corporate personality. The colors work together for those who want to coordinate a neutral palette and more vibrant colors.
