Good design is supportive.

Seating has always proved a challenge for office furniture designers, simply due to the increasing length of time people spend sitting down. The daily nine to five is a thing of the past, replaced by a working week of anything between 40 and 80 hours, and our bodies simply aren’t used to that kind of pressure.

Only by understanding the effects that being seated for such a long time has on the body can you start to understand how to solve the problem, and that’s where Agitus designer Wolfgang Deisig started his brief. Function would dictate form, not vice versa.

The result is a chair that provides a complete support system, following the contours of the back and reducing pressure on the pelvis and coccyx by distributing the weight over a larger area. Its simple, refined visual aesthetic conceals a whole host of innovation through-out the chair, from the mechanism tilt adjustments through the seat construction, arm adjustments and the individual adjustments of the lumbar and thoracic back supports.

So even if you’re working long after everyone else has gone home, you can still get all the support you need from Agitus.
