Generation
Celebrating 10 years of sitting how you want
In the buzzing workplace of today, Generation’s innovative, elastic design gives you the flexibility and comfort you need to sit and work however you choose. Since its introduction in 2009, Generation has redefined seating by replacing the notions of how people “should” sit with the support users' need to work freely. The first chair to promote unrestrained movement, Generation is a true reflection of innovation and thoughtful design.
Technical Information
Frameless Flex Back The Flex Back fuses two innovative elements — the high performance elastomer Flex Back Net and a distinctive figure 8 structure — which together support many different postures and allow for multidimensional movement throughout the workday. The curvature of the figure 8 structure combined with the specific tension, pattern and unique properties of the Net enables side-to-side flex and ensures optimal localized support for shoulders and lumbar region. Frameless Flex Seat Generation by Knoll moves as you move, encouraging free expression, creativity and engagement at work. The Flex Seat offers 270 degrees of seat edge flex without a hard frame or obtrusive levers along the seat perimeter, as well as 3" of seat depth adjustment. Dynamic Suspension™ Constructed from the same high performance elastomer as the Flex Back Net, the simple, non-mechanical Dynamic Suspension provides a weight-compensated, smooth ride — without the complexity of metal links or springs. The inherent properties of this material — flex and durability — enable an enhanced range of energizing, side-to-side movements Flex Top The Flex Top allows the top edge of the back to fold over, providing a comfortable armrest for side sitting or other informal postures, extending your range of movement and offering comfort in any position.
