The good people at Knoll have finally figured out what a proper desk chair is all about, that there isn’t one proper way to sit. They have actually researched and identified that the human body likes to move and sit in different positions, it’s better for your muscles, blood flow and ultimately your level of production. 

This chair works when it’s sat in regularly, sideways or backwards (Zack Morris style). Knoll has also created the chair in an environmentally friendly way, using as much recycled material as possible.

Check the chair out at Knoll, more pictures after the jump.

  Looks very functional… too bad it’s ugly.

  I disagree, MUCH more attractive than the chairs out on the market now. Very futuristic looking. The real test for chairs though is actually sitting in it.

  the webbing across the back is superfluous and the seam awkward. Looks like a probable delamination and a manufacturing headache.

  Get a clue on what seating really is about and you can see the Knoll Generation chair has reached the next level. Discuss what it sits like when you compare what you are used to sitting in.

  Knoll’s Generation chair looks like a well thought out product, its designers recognize some people like to move a lot when sitting and it’s been designed to allow a wide range of seating positions. The problem with lot of office chairs is they keep the body too rigid and inflexible which results in discomfort.

  The chair looks excellent. I can’t wait until we receive our sample from the factory. A few of my co-workers went to Neocon 2009 and loved the chair

  I’ve seen new chairs come and go sense Aeron. Most manufacturers have spent the past 15 years just trying to knock Aeron off unsuccessfully in an attemp to me the “me too” chair supplier. Generation is the next real evolution of seating in a long time. Once you sit in it, you won’t want to give it up.

  I heard it’s the most expensive chair on the market. Like $750

  Can’t wait until we get our samples. It is the most comfortable ergonomic chair on the market, well designed and surpasses SMaRT Certification. Far more comfortable than the Aeron chair. It IS the “CHAIR OF THE NOW GENERATION”. Also priced to fit the market for so called comparable chairs.
