Designed by Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick, the Equa 2 refined the classic design by offering improved flexibility that allows the seat and back to respond independently to your movements. With its advanced “knee-tilt” mechanism and flexible one-piece shell, which set a new standard for ergonomic support following the original Equa’s success.
The Equa 2 is an “egalitarian” chair, specifically engineered to provide equal ergonomic support to all body types and for various tasks throughout the workday. Its iconic “H-shaped” shell cutout is more than a design feature — it is the key to a chair that flexes and interacts with the sitter without requiring the manipulation of endless buttons or knobs.
Key Features:
- Dynamic Flexibility: The patented one-piece shell allows the seat and back to flex separately, providing continuous, natural support whether you are leaning forward for task work or reclining during a meeting.
- No-Pressure Knee-Tilt: Features a pioneering knee-tilt mechanism with a pivot point near the knee. This allows your feet to stay flat on the floor while you recline, eliminating pressure on the underside of your thighs and promoting healthy circulation.
- Breathable Thermal Comfort: The distinctive opening between the seat and back allows air to circulate freely, relieving heat buildup and keeping you cool during extended use.
- Waterfall Front Edges: The sloped seat edge further reduces pressure behind the thighs, a critical feature for long-term ergonomic health.
- Eco-Conscious Construction: Built for durability and sustainability, each Equa 2 chair is manufactured using approximately 29% recycled materials and is up to 86% recyclable at the end of its life.
Technical Specifications:
- Adjustments: Pneumatic height adjustment and tilt tension control.
- Upholstery: Tan patterned fabric with a professional black frame.
- Mobility: Stable 5-star base with hooded double-wheel casters.
