    Best-in-Class Performance

     

    Designed for Movement

    Gesture encourages movement and supports the greatest range of postures in three ways: through the back, the seat and the arms. With 3D LiveBack®, Gesture mimics the natural motion of the spine contouring to the user, creating the deepest recline.

     

    Designed for Connection

    As you work across multiple devices, Gesture keeps your posture healthy and keeps you connected to your work. The 360 arms allow you to bring the arms up and in towards your body to avoid Text Neck.

     

    Designed for You

    Everybody’s different, and everybody sits differently, Gesture comfortably supports a range of people. The 360-degree arms have the largest width range of any chair on the market. Ideal for users who sit for long periods of time and prefer a dialed in, precise fit.

    .

    Acclaimed Movement

    Designed for all the ways technology shapes your posture, Gesture supports the largest range of postures and users – so you can sit all day without feeling like you sat all day. Gesture offers best-in-class features and performance.
