This is no different with the armchair for the office, it also offers this special comfort that is (in vain) unparalleled. Padding on the armrests, a high backrest and the Rocker function cause that once someone has settled down here, they no longer want to get up.

Sitting healthy in the executive chair

In the past, it didn't matter whether office furniture met ergonomic requirements or was particularly easy to care for. Here the appearance played a far greater role and the armchair was good if it had great visual power. He had to be able to impress with his appearance and present the person sitting in it as a boss. Modern office chairs also allow people to sit healthily. The cushions protect against unpleasant pressure points even when sitting for long periods of time, and the rocker function prevents rigid sitting, which can lead to back pain and cramps.

The adjustability of the seat height and inclination of the backrest in turn provides adapted support for the entire body. You will feel the difference when you work on a project that requires maximum concentration and where you take few breaks. By sitting in an office chair, you remain more agile and tire less quickly.

THE PERFECT CHARACTERISTICS OF THE EXECUTIVE CHAIR

At first glance, many see Black leather executive chair similar. They appear opulent, elegant, powerful and comfortable to sit on. But at second glance and when you try it out, the properties of the armchair, which can no longer be described as just a desk chair, become apparent. By the way, shades of black in various shades are the most popular colors for office chairs, with other colors such as cream, red and brown following at some distance.

The seat of an executive chair should be height-adjustable and thus adapts to both the height of the person sitting and the chair Desk height perfect. Pay attention to small adjustment intervals and a minimum adjustment height of more than ten centimeters. The optimal sitting height is set when the feet can stand flat on the floor and the upper and lower legs form an angle of 90 degrees. It is ideal if the seat depth can also be adjusted so that you can adapt the seat to the length of your thighs. This prevents the edge of the seat from pressing into the back of your knees and disrupting blood circulation in your legs. A rounded seat edge is particularly comfortable!

BASE WITH ROLLERS

Modern office chairs are equipped with a base with five castors. These can be moved in all directions, allowing the chair to roll freely. If the surface is hard, pay attention to soft wheels; hard wheels come, for example. B. used on carpets or other soft floor types. The diameter of the rollers should be up to 65 mm for thick carpets and uneven floors, otherwise 55 mm is sufficient.

LEAN

The angle of the backrest should be adjustable so that it adapts optimally to your back. The S-shaped backrest is particularly comfortable because it relieves pressure on the lumbar spine and prevents you from suffering from back pain when sitting for long periods of time. However, the padding in the lumbar area must be optimally adjusted, otherwise you will feel unpleasant pressure. Readjustments are often necessary if you have been using the chair for a longer period of time. This shows the absolute necessity of adjustability, because if the lumbar area is not supported perfectly, the best office chair can no longer score points with comfort.

PADDING

An executive chair made of black leather or other colors such as cream, beige or brown can be more or less thickly padded. Your personal preferences play a role when deciding on upholstery - recommendations can only be given to a limited extent. While some prefer a harder seating experience, others prefer thick, soft cushions. It's a good thing that we have a large selection in our shop so that you can find your “upholstery favorite”. Also important: the more body weight you bring with you, the harder the armchair padding should be. This means your body receives ideal support. A special feature is high-density padding, which is soft but still has a high density. They support the body in a pleasant way, but do not allow it to sink into the upholstery.

ARMRESTS AND HEADREST

Of course, the armrests and headrest primarily have a supportive function, but they also help to make the chair appear representative. Both parts should be height adjustable so that the seating is really comfortable and allows you to maintain your posture. The adjustability should be possible in several stages. There should be an angle of 90 degrees between the upper and forearm. The armrests have the function of supporting the weight of the arms, which relieves pressure on the shoulder girdle and upper back area. Your intervertebral discs will also thank you if your arms don't always have to be carried freely!

THE MATERIAL

Leather is always recommended as a material for an executive chair because it scores points in many ways. On the one hand, it naturally looks very elegant and underlines the representative character of the office furniture. This effect is further enhanced by black leather, because the color black (which is actually not a color at all) is generally considered dignified and elegant to luxurious. Whether you choose real leather or imitation leather is up to you - both are easy to care for, but real leather is much higher quality, but less cheap. However, an executive chair is not a piece of furniture that is bought on a regular basis, so “cheap” should be in proportion to the good quality. Of course, textile materials can also be used to cover the armchair, but these are often difficult to clean and stains usually remain forever.

THE COLOR

Black looks elegant yet simple, other colors such as cream or brown achieve a similar effect. The choice of colors is certainly a little more free in a young, creative company and anyone who works as a graphic or advertising designer can use other colors such as cream, red or purple. Dark shades are more suitable for conservative companies, high-ranking managers and employees in management positions. Ultimately, the color determines the effect of the office chair, and it should also fit in with the rest of the office design and the company's corporate design.

OTHER IMPORTANT ERGONOMIC FEATURES OF AN EXECUTIVE CHAIR

Ergonomic feature

Settings / Benefits

Armrests

The armrests are adjustable:

  • height adjustable

  • tilt adjustable

  • vertically adjustable

  • width adjustable

  • radially adjustable

Backrest

Height

The backrest is sufficiently high as soon as it reaches shoulder height. This is the only way it can support the entire back.
Many executive chair models have height-adjustable backrests.

Lumbar support

Executive chair with lumbar support to adapt the chair to any back shape

Seat

Seat tilt adjustment

Office chairs in the upper price range have a seat tilt adjustment. This causes the seat to tilt slightly forward, which tilts the pelvis slightly forward, which promotes straightening of the spine.

Mechanics

Permanent contact mechanism

The permanent contact mechanism offers a movable backrest without the seat changing its position.

Rocker mechanism

With the rocker mechanism, the backrest can be moved backwards, although the seat remains at the same angle. The position can usually be locked using a lever. The rocker mechanism is the simplest mechanism for tilting the backrest.

Synchronous mechanism

With the synchronous mechanism, the inclination of the backrest is connected to the inclination of the seat. When you lean back, the inclination of the seat changes at the same time, moving slightly backwards. The ratio of the change in inclination of the seat to the backrest is 1:3. This ensures that the chosen support point for the pelvis is retained in every position. This promotes ergonomic sitting.
