Multi-purpose chairsPrint

One for all

Some chairs are frequently used by many different people. We call them multi-purpose chairs. Mostly they are used just for a limited period of time, for example in conferences, in the dining room, in the waiting room or for visitors.

Chairs of this kind must be suitable for different people. However, in view of the intended purpose, they cannot be adapted individually to each single user. Even so, the chair should still fulfil the widest possible range of ergonomic functions to offer anatomically appropriate support for the various users.

Support movement

The human being has the need to move and accordingly the chair must support, respectively encourage this need. A multipurpose chair must be suitable for as many people as possible with the most diverse body dimensions, and offer a high dynamic range in the area of the backrest and sitting surface to allow back friendly and comfortable sitting.

Checklist

• The chair must be suitable for people of many different shapes and sizes and permit dynamic, ergonomic and also relaxing, pleasant and comfortable sitting.
• In the rear sitting position, the chair should offer support in a range of about 12 to 28 cm (measured for the unloaded seat) for the lumbar spine and the top iliac crest (waistline).
• The chair should offer a sitting height of between 44 and 50 cm with a seat depth of between 43.5 and 48.5 cm. The minimum seat width should be about 42 cm.
• The product must allow active sitting. It must therefore be possible to tilt the seat forwards and backwards; the chair should have a dynamic backrest or other suitable solutions.
• The chair must have a shock absorber for the sitting surface to protect the spinal column against compression when sitting down (sitting depth suspension).
• The padding for the seat and backrest must be permeable with micro climate-friendly properties.
