Design Story
Think is the simplest, most streamlined embodiment of our understanding of people who sit — and how they sit throughout the day.
Our learnings are based on research and collaboration with universities, including the Technical University of Denmark, Michigan State University and the University of Vermont Back Research Center. To scientific studies, we add years of observational research in the workplace.
Disassemble in Under Five Minutes
Smart. Simple. Sustainable.
Designed with fewer parts for quick and easy disassembly, Think can be taken apart in just five minutes for recycling. It was a pioneer of sustainability for many certifications at Steelcase and beyond and recycled content makes up roughly a third of the chair’s weight.
