Maximum comfort & functionality in an elegant design
If you are considering buying a new, particularly high-quality office chair, most people want to find out exactly what the different options are beforehand. Since high-end professional office chairs are not the cheapest models, it is advisable to do thorough research before buying a chair like this. With the ERGOHUMAN, you are looking at exactly this product category. This premium-quality chair combines maximum comfort, elegant design and a wide range of adjustment options. In this article, we would like to introduce one of our most successful product lines.
Product features
The ERGOHUMAN product line combines design and comfort in equal measure. Hardly any office chair is more comfortable or offers as many positive features as this chair. Even after a long working day, you will still feel fresh and energised in this high-end office chair. Not only does the office chair look great, but its individual components also offer many beneficial features. In the second generation of the ERGOHUMAN range, there are some similarities as well as differences between the various models. This article will highlight them for you, starting with the similarities.

Seat
The seat of the ERGOHUMAN not only features infinitely adjustable height, allowing even a person with a height of 1.85m to sit ergonomically correctly, but is also adjustable in seat depth, ensuring optimal support for the lower legs. Thanks to the high-quality, breathable mesh fabric, you will not break a sweat in the office even on hot summer days with this high-end office chair. It not only provides excellent ventilation, but also makes a key contribution to an ergonomic sitting position, as its flexible structure ensures an optimal fit. Thanks to the use of state-of-the-art high-tech materials, this special upholstery is extremely robust and abrasion-resistant.
Backrest
The backrest is also made from versatile mesh fabric and additionally impresses with its modern and timeless design. Thanks to its unique shape, the particularly ergonomic backrest supports correct posture and promotes physical wellbeing. The ERGOHUMAN also features a flexible lumbar support that keeps your back in a perfectly upright position. Thanks to the easy-to-use ratchet mechanism, the backrest on the SLIM models can be adjusted to three different height settings, allowing you to adapt the position of the lumbar support perfectly to your needs. The other versions even offer six-way height adjustment for even more precise settings.
Armrests & Headrest
All office chairs in the EGOHUMAN series feature armrests with soft pad covers that provide a pleasantly soft feel. Depending on the model, the armrests offer different adjustment options. This allows you to adjust your armrests individually to your height and desk height so that your elbows rest at a right angle and your shoulders do not hang too low. Depending on the model, this high-end office chair also comes with a headrest, which can also be adjusted. We will show you later in an overview of the differences which version offers which adjustment options for the headrest and armrests.
Base & Castors
The sturdy base is made of polished aluminium. The ERGOHUMAN is equipped with multifunction castors, making it suitable for all floor types. The multifunction castors impress with their high load capacity, premium quality and wear resistance. Thanks to the specially coated running surfaces of the castors, your floors are protected from damage.
Functionality
The ERGOHUMAN range is also well ahead of many others when it comes to functionality. A number of functions are integrated into the sturdy frame construction made of aluminium or plastic. The entire product line features an aluminium synchronous mechanism elegantly integrated beneath the seat. The point-synchronous mechanism allows both the seat tilt and the backrest angle to be individually adjusted to your body weight. The spring tension can be conveniently adjusted while seated using a hand crank. In addition, the synchronous mechanism can be locked in five positions and features an especially wide opening angle of 141°. The product line also offers several other advantageous adjustment options:
- “forward locking position” – Negative adjustment of the backrest and seat surface for a particularly upright, ergonomic sitting position. This relieves the entire musculoskeletal system. This setting is ideal for gaming and writing (backrest: -6°; seat surface: -2°)
- “segment locking / position memory” – The opening angle can be fixed in four stages and also allows the backrest opening angle to be reduced. This makes leaning back individually adjustable.
-
“floating drift function / recline mode” – This function allows the seat to move smoothly and gently with you when leaning fully forwards and backwards.
All of these functions can be precisely adjusted by yourself thanks to the intuitive controls. You can find your perfect sitting position in just moments using a lever.
