Work. Don't wait. Sometimes, you don't need a conference room to collaborate. You may only need a few chairs in which you and a small team can connect. And those big, stuffy lounge chairs don't cut it (unless you're looking for a place to nap). You need a chair designed for working, not waiting. You need a chair you can move, shift, and breathe in. A chair that lets you orient yourself to your fellow collaborators without taking away your focus or sacrificing your comfort.

The i2i chair's dual swivel mechanism keeps you focused where you need to be: keeping eyes to eyes and eyes to information. The back and seat swivel independently, allowing you to change your posture without changing your orientation...and vice versa.

Your body requires you to move and shift, and when you do, i2i accommodates. Tilt back, forward, left, or right. Slant your body in any direction. Every time you move, the flexing back gives you the proper support for whatever position you put yourself in for as long as you need it. And with no adjustments, i2i keeps you comfortable without forcing you to fiddle with levers. One less thing you need to think about.

1. Flexing back

   Provides comfort and support for different postures.

2. Dual swivel

   The chair’s back and seat swivel independently allowing users respond to the moment while maintaining focus. Swivel the seat and back together, swivel the back only, swivel the seat only.

3. Instant and intuitive adjustments

   Our research shows that people don’t adjust chairs in collaborative settings, so i2i was created without adjustments so anyone can get comfortable quickly.

We worked with McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry (MBDC), selecting only materials assessed safe for human and environmental health. The i2i chair is recyclable and is undergoing a complete Lifecycle Assessment, evaluating the chair’s lifelong impact on the environment – from materials extraction through production, shipping, use, and end of life. The Connect fabric on the i2i chair is an antimony free polyester. Heavy metals bio-accumulate and can be toxic to humans and the environment. This material is certified by MBDC as having less than 100 parts per million of any heavy metal of concern.
