Features
Collaborative Seating
Collaborative Seating
Collaborative work often occurs in areas where people can sit comfortably with one another. These spaces need a chair that lets them stay connected to each other and their information.
The i2i lounge chair was designed specifically to foster collaboration. Users can stay more engaged; they can retain eye-to-eye contact and eye-to-information thanks to the unique i2i dual swivel mechanism.
Automatic Comfort
Automatic Comfort
i2i moves with the body as the user shifts through various postures. Each time the user moves, the flexing fingers of the back give appropriate support according to the position. With no adjustments, i2i allows users to get comfortable quickly and stay engaged in their work.
Various Postures
Various Postures
i2i encourages movement and comfort for longer periods of time. The dual swivel mechanism allows users to shift postures quickly and easily, helping them to stay focused and engaged. The swivel base promotes movement and provides support in a variety of postures.

i2i is also ideal for welcome areas, in-between spaces and small collaborative areas in open and closed office environments.

Insights
Collaboration
The i2i chair was based on three observations that generated our key insights:

Insight. Chairs should encourage movement and be comfortable for lengthy periods so people remain focused and engaged.
Observation. People don’t adjust their chairs while collaborating.
Insight. Adjustments should be automatic and intuitive.
Observation. People change postures when collaborating.
Insight. Chairs should support multiple postures
