Think

Think® is the chair with a brain and a conscience.

Think Chair Mini Site

It’s intelligent enough to understand how you sit and adjust itself intuitively. It’s thoughtful enough to measure and minimize its lifelong impact on the environment. In fact, the Think chair is the first-ever certified level™ 3 product, the highest BIFMA e3 standard. The Think chair is also the first product to ever receive Cradle to Cradle™ Product Certification from McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry’s (MBDC). Designed by Glen Oliver Low.

Features

The Think chair’s ergonomic features include:
a. Your Profile™ Seat and Back
The back flexors are individually shaped to the human form to provide optimum support for each area of the back. Seat flexors conform to your shape, providing a dynamic comfort pocket.
b. Your Power™ Mechanism
The Your Power Mechanism moves as fluidly as the human body does. It provides recline support in proportion to your own body weight, while keeping you oriented to your work.
c. Adjustable Arms
The Think chair’s adjustable arms pivot and move up and down to provide natural support and will retract up to three inches, allowing you to get closer to your work.
d. Flexible Seat Edge
When you recline or lean forward, the seat edge flexes to relieve pressure on the back of the legs.
e. Your Preference™ Control
The Your Preference Control combines four comfort settings into one simple dial. Select your favorite setting: weight activated, weight activated with at 20% boost, mid-stop recline, and upright back lock.
