Amia Design Story
Amia Design Story
Design Story
The Amia chair was designed by Steelcase, in collaboration with industrial designer,Thomas Overthun of IDEO.
“Innovations such as the LiveLumbar™ mechanism have been incorporated into the overall shape rather than made explicit on the chair’s outside. Technology quietly serving, rather than drawing attention to itself, seemed appealing in the context of today’s information overload. This, combined with an attention to detail and materials, allowed us to realize Amia’s calm and refined design.” — Thomas Overthun
Amia's Little Secret: LiveLumbar™
Amia's Little Secret: LiveLumbar™
LiveLumbar™ Creates an Ergonomic Office Chair
That nice flex you feel when you lean against the Amia chair’s backrest is the LiveLumbar™ technology inside. Different than a typical lumbar “cushion”, LiveLumbar is a system of flexors that move with your back for consistent, dynamic support. Two handles on the chair’s backrest let you slide the LiveLumbar to the ideal position for you.
