US Chair

When tapped to create simple, comfortable, and adaptable classroom seating, we opted to go right to the source: students. It didn’t take us long to realize where conventional chairs and desks fell shorts. Instead of passively sitting, the students often came together in small groups to learn collaboratively — but nothing was yet equipped for such flexibility.

Applying the science of design to today’s human behavior led to an active learning solution that supports a wide variety of applications for a more effective educational environment: Us.

Large or small, formal or dynamic, Us had to fit naturally in any classroom setting, so it was designed to be completely adaptable, modifiable, durable, and stackable.

With configurable arms, bases, upholstery, finishes, and accessories, like tablet arms, racks, and cup holders, Us works across virtually every learning environment. And its inherent flex back design, larger base, and ergonomic shell allows the chair to respond to movement, making for a more comfortable and agile sitting experience.
