NeoCon East: AGATI adds new task and guest seating, adds curves to modular seating

by Brianna Crandall — October 14, 2013—Corporate and institutional furniture manufacturer AGATI Furniture is introducing five new contemporary yet functional seating solutions at NeoCon East in Baltimore, Maryland, October 16-17, as well as “throwing a curve” into two of its popular lounge/banquette collections.

The biggest attraction among AGATI’s new releases is arguably its mPosition “mobile workstation.” The mPosition makes it possible to work in a position physiologically best for the spine thanks to numerous adjustable points. Users can modify their reclining position, ensuring proper form and healthy circulation. mPosition’s highly adjustable design makes it an optimal solution for both comfort and long hours of high-level productivity. Adjustments can be made to the laptop table, footrest, armrest, headrest, lumbar support, backrest and seat angle.

The new Dori chair is a modern and user-friendly task chair offering a full range of adjustability options to adapt to users’ needs. A synchro mechanism helps ensure a supported sitting position. Proper position is also assured by the Dori’s height adjustable backrest, seat with height and depth adjustments, and adjustable armrests, says AGATI. The Dori’s backrest is reportedly its distinguishing feature; users can adjust the modern construction backrest to their spines, even while in motion. The Dori sits upon a chrome base and is available in standard colors for quick ship or custom COM.

Adding to AGATI’s guest seating this year is the Sensi, a stylish, affordable stacking conference chair with a built-in ganging mechanism. Frames are available in chrome or satin, while the seat and backrest are formed from bent plywood and are available in a modern color range of Formica laminates.

The Sorriso and Fan guest chairs round out AGATI’s contemporary seating offerings. The Sorriso (“smile” in Italian) embraces each user with a welcoming design, and an elegant, oval-shaped shell seat offers comfortable seating for open spaces and conference areas. Supported by a sleek, four-legged chrome base, the Sorriso chair is available in blue, orange, green and red fabric.

AGATI’s Fan chair features a distinctive, elegant shell-shape seat with precise stitching. The Fan epitomizes the modern arm chair, best used in open spaces, conference rooms, receptions and home offices, says AGATI. The shell is made of a high-quality cold melded foam technology supported by a sleek, chrome disc base with a self-centering cylinder. The Fan is available in black, grey or brown vinyl, all with white stitching, or white vinyl with black stitching.

AGATI’s two popular lounge collections—Gee Modular and Hampton Lounge—welcome new curve options to the respective collections. While the Gee features a casual “lounge sit,” ideal for public seating, the Hampton’s unique feature is its lounge “work sit.” Though it features a lounge appeal, the Hampton is specifically designed to provide back support, enabling a longer sit without pain or discomfort. The new inner and outer curve features allow both collections to provide unlimited configurations and adapt to environments of any size, notes AGATI.
