    Steelcase Karman™ delivers industry-leading comfort, ergonomics and sustainability in an entirely new way.

    Beyond Comfort. Beyond Mesh.

    Steelcase Karman goes beyond leading mesh chairs with 21st century design that naturally responds to a body’s movement, delivering industry-leading comfort, ergonomics and sustainability.

    Innovation Story

    Breakthrough Comfort

    Steelcase Karman’s patented hybrid seat is unlike any other. The suspension seat with integrated cushioning provides maximum comfort for as long as you sit. The ultra-light frame flexes to eliminate painful pressure points common in other mesh chairs.

    Above and Beyond

    Building upon the same LiveBack® technology of the standard back, the sculpted high back and integrated neck pillow is designed to provide enhanced upper body comfort while helping create more dynamic spaces. ​
