The Physix Studio task chair’s seat structure is based on the idea of stretching a textile panel between the sides of the seat frame before adding a five-star base equipped with castors. With Physix Studio, despite its seemingly simple structure, designer Alberto Meda has taken the classic office chair to a whole new level by using state-of-the-art materials and production technologies to create a dynamic sitting experience and freedom of movement. The flexible frame, stabilizing mechanism and adjustable height guarantee optimal comfort by combining pliant and stiff elements. Due to its agility, Physix Studio is particularly suited for mobile and temporary work stations.
