Life Chair by Formway
New Zealand-based furniture design company, Formway, began their business in 1956 as a small-scale manufacturer of steel furniture. Over the years they have expanded their enterprise to become leaders in performance seating design, designing products for some of the world's most well-known and innovative furniture brands such as Knoll, noho and Natuzzi.
Formway embodies a philosophy of team-based, research-led design that focuses on the aesthetic whilst always keeping the individual at the core of the design process – they believe that the user experience is not limited to one single task or posture but encompasses a constant range of movement. They also hold a fascination with the ever-changing nature of human behaviour and movement, and a discerning interest in the future of workspaces and human habits within them.
It is this fascination with innovation and their acquired depth of knowledge that has produced so many cutting-edge design pieces. Formway pride themselves on “thinking outside the chair” and are passionate about creating products that are of real value that “…unearth and nurture unspoken needs… that surprise and delight.”
An amalgamation of these Formway values and processes comes to life with the superbly designed Life chair. This office chair adapts gently to the individual, providing an ease of movement that promotes a continuous workflow undisturbed by having to adjust your chair.
It features a synchronized recline with auto-balanced tension that adjusts effortlessly using your body weight as a counter-balance. The back frame flexes with the body as the suspension fabric moulds to your shape, making it comfortable and supportive whilst promoting dynamic movement. The seat design boasts a standard upright tilt lock and adjustable seat depth to cater for a range of body types, and the overall experience is strengthened by additional lumbar support at the back of the chair. Aesthetically, Life’s sleek lines and form are unobtrusive and complementary, rendering it a perfect fit for any home or corporate office.
And if those features weren’t enough, this chair is also independently certified by Good Environmental Choice Australia (GECA) and Environmental Choice New Zealand (ECNZ), making it a greener choice.
With a mesh back, we have the Life available in a range of seating options:
Fabric upholstered (charcoal, black and grey stripe)
Leather
We have a large number of these chairs available, so whether you need just one for your home workspace or to fit out an entire office, we’ve got you covered.
Light, Intuitive, Flexible, Environmental – a perfect wrap up of the Life chair by Formway.
