Love your chair again, with Alive Seating™.

…but what exactly is it?

Alive Seating

Alive Seating technology allows for dynamic movement and user control. Products part of the Alive Seating portfolio and also incorporate a strategic approach to sustainability.

Elements of Alive Seating* include:

  1. Live Back™

    The back changes shape to support the entire spine to reduce lower back sag, which may weaken disc walls, stress back ligaments and cause deterioration of the spine. Leap, Siento

  2. Natural Glide System

    As you recline, the seat glides forward so you can recline while staying oriented to your work. This encourages more varied postures so there's less static load on the spine. Leap

  3. Your Profile™ Back

    Back flexors dynamically and independently follow the movement of the user’s back. Flexors are calibrated to the human form to provide optimum support for each area of the back. Think, Amia

  4. Upper Back Force

    Upper back force control enables you to set the amount of "push back" that you desire as you recline, so you'll receive just the right amount of recline support. Leap, Think

  5. Live Lumbar

    LiveLumbar™ zone flexes with your every move, for consistent ergonomic support for your lower back. Leap, Think, Amia

  6. Lower Back Firmness

    Lower back firmness control enables you to set a constant amount of firmness to help maintain your lower spine's natural curve. Leap, Siento

  7. Adjustable Seat Depth

    Because we don't all fit average sizes and leg and torso lengths vary, adjustable seat depth accommodates different body shapes for long-term comfort. Leap, Think, Amia

  8. Your Profile™ Seat

    Seat flexors dynamically and independently follow your movement and calibrated to the human form to provide optimum support. Think, Move

  9. Height, Depth, Width, and Pivot Arms

    Arms telescope in and out, move forward and back, pivot and adjust up and down so you can find a position that supports the wrists, forearms, shoulders and neck. Leap, Think, Amia

  10. Flexible Seat Edge

    When you recline or lean forward, the seat edge flexes to relieve pressure on the back of the legs. Leap, Think, Amia, Siento, Move
