Bangalore, India, 16thSeptember 24: Specially crafted for the dynamic hybrid work landscape in India, New York head-quarteredHumanscale, the global leader in office ergonomics, has introduced the’ Smart Conference Chair’ that takes intuitive comfort to a new level of luxury, suitable for any meeting space/conference rooms that accommodate in-office and hybrid meetings in which fewer people use a dedicated chair.
Adapted from iconic industrial designer Niels Diffrient's original, award-winning Smart Chair,the Smart Conference emphasizes function. "A smart chair adapts to your weight and shape automatically, as if the chair were made just for you," said Diffrient. This approach provides a streamlined sitting experience with unparalleled support for nearly every body type. It also results in a timeless, minimalist, and universally appealing aesthetic suitable for any setting.
By incorporating Humanscale's Form-Sensing Technology, the Smart Conference chair provides an instantly tailored sitting experience for each user. Its weight-compensating recline grants exceptional ergonomic comfort from posture to posture. After a meeting concludes, return-to-height chair cylinders reset the room uniformly, ensuring a tidy appearance.
Humanscale’s Smart Conference chair would be available in India through its Authorised Distribution Partner S Cube Ergonomics Private Limited (S Cube) having an Exclusive Showroom and Ergonomics Experience Centre at Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Pune, that caters to the All-India market.
“According to recent studies, the Hybrid Work model is continuing to rise in India emerging as the new normal (led by IT companies), finding increasing preference among employees and employers encouraging many companies to opt for collaborative andflexible office spaces,” said Sathish Nandagopal, Founder & Director, S Cube.“Humanscale’s Smart Conference chair is ideal for today’s office culture, where nobody keeps the same chair from day to day. It is made to flex to the sitter each time it’s used.”
Some of the key highlights and features of Humanscale’s Smart Conference chair include:
Featuring a weight-sensitive recline and Form-Sensing Technology, adjusting positions is intuitive and automatic, providing a custom sitting experience tailored to each sitter.
Designed to mimic the contours of the body, Smart Conference’s sculpted backrest and seat cushions minimise and relieve pressure points providing the perfect amount of support and comfort.
Smart Conference is completely upholstered in Maribo, a pliable, durable, and elegant semi-aniline leather. Tanned without harmful chromium, this chair is available in eight neutral colour options.
Smart Conference is carbon negative, and its consciously selected material composition is comprised of recycled die-cast aluminium, environmentally neutral Chrome 3, and alternatively tanned leather
Ideal for keeping chairs at one uniform height, the return-to- height cylinder options bring each chair back to its highest position when unoccupied.
"Functionality is at the core of good design. While the future of work life is undergoing major transformation in India, we saw an opportunity with Smart Conference to make the collaborative and flexible workplace effortless," said Alastair Stubbs, Country Director India,Humanscale.“Smart Conference intentionally meets the contemporary work culture, as fewer people use a dedicated chair anymore.
