Features
Open image tooltip LiveLumbar Height
The Amia chair is an ergonomic office chair.
- It slides up or down for custom support that flexes with your back.
- The back lock locks the backrest in an upright position and unlocks allowing for full-range motion
- Height, depth, width and pivot arms telescope in and out, move forward and back, pivot, and adjust up and down, so you can find a natural position that comfortably supports the wrists, forearms, shoulders and neck.
Open image tooltip LiveLumbar™ Technology
An adjustable LiveLumbar™ zone flexes with every move for consistent ergonomic support for lower back.
The enveloping backrest and textured, refined look of Amia are immediately inviting. And as soon as you sit down in the robust, yet comfortable Amia office chair, you know you’ve found something special. Both the LiveLumbar™ support and the flexible seat edge angle adjust automatically to your body shape.
Adjustability
The Amia office chair flexes to relieve pressure on the back of the legs when you recline or lean forward.
Adjustable seat depth accommodates different body shapes for long-term comfort.
Amia adapts cleverly to your natural movements and has simple controls that are easy to find, understand and use.

Upper + Lower Back
The upper and lower back regions require different amounts and different kinds of support.
Amia’s Solution
The lumbar and thoracic areas are differently supported:
- Amia’s LiveLumbar™ support is designed to sense movement in your back and self-adjust to provide optimal support.
- The tilt tension gives support to the higher part of the backrest

The Spine
Since the spine does not move as a single unit, a chair’s backrest should change shape to support the independent movements of a person’s upper and lower back when he/she changes posture.
Spinal Motion
Since each individual’s spinal motion is unique, a chair’s backrest should mimic each individual’s unique spinal motion as he/she changes posture.
