QiVi by Steelcase

QiVi seating promotes movement and collaboration. 

Available Late Summer 2013.

QiVi is designed to encourage movement and support multiple postures.  With its unique pivoting backrest and gliding seat, QiVi moves with the body so users stay focused, energized and productive while collaborating.

QiVi was designed specifically to foster collaboration and was based on three key insights:

1. Chairs should promote movement and be comfortable for long periods of time
2. Adjustments should be automatic and intuitive
3. Chairs should support multiple postures
