Additionally, the shift toward more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.steelcase.com\/asia-en\/research\/articles\/topics\/creativity\/creative-shift\/\">creative work<\/a> requires that we cycle through the different modes of work throughout the day.

It\u2019s made using a simple system and it\u2019s redefining office seating. What SILQ is made of, the way it is shaped and the way it performs are inseparable. SILQ is available in both carbon fiber and a newly-invented high-performance polymer. Simply by sitting, the chair responds to the inputs you give it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople are moving from one task to another and are spending less time sitting in front of their desk all day,\u201d said James Ludwig, vice president of Global Design &amp; Engineering for Steelcase. \u201cSILQ\u2019s simplicity means anyone who sits down is going to be supported and delighted no matter where or how they are working.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>SEATING. REDEFINED.<\/h3>\n<p>Stay up-to-date with news and product availability information about SILQ.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"button button-gray\" href=\"https:\/\/info.steelcase.com\/silq-steelcase\/?utm_source=dotcom&amp;utm_medium=blog-post&amp;utm_campaign=silq&amp;utm_content=silq-lander\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Learn More<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Typical task chairs may often have hundreds of parts so people doing intense work can adjust every aspect of it to support them throughout the day. But, for mobile workers and people who don\u2019t find themselves in one location all day, the science of seating has become a more dynamic picture. SILQ is engineered with just 30 parts. The invention of a new material pushes the boundaries of seating design allowing the material to become the mechanism. You don\u2019t have to think about adjustments because the only adjustment for SILQ is its height. The chair itself does the rest.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-large wp-image-11030\" src=\"https:\/\/steelcase-res.cloudinary.com\/image\/upload\/c_limit,dpr_auto,q_70,h_1024,w_1024\/v1517027316\/www.steelcase.com\/2018\/01\/27\/17-0097368.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe wanted to create a movement and a ride that was not just simple, but also intuitive.

At the same time, because of how people are working today, it\u2019s the perfect moment to introduce SILQ.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pull-quote pull-quote-center \"><p>\u201cFundamentally, you are a participant in this chair instead of a passenger.&#8221;<\/p><cite>James Ludwig<span>Vice President, Global Design and Engineering<\/span><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_370399\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_attachment_370399\" class=\"wp-image wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 1024px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11031 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/steelcase-res.cloudinary.com\/image\/upload\/c_limit,dpr_auto,q_70,h_1024,w_1024\/v1517027306\/www.steelcase.com\/2018\/01\/27\/17-0097542.jpg\" alt=\"SILQ\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" \/><figcaption id=\"figcaption_attachment_370399\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u201cSILQ is just the beginning.
