LAN

While conversating with Alki set ourselves a challenge: create an office chair that complies with the ergonomic codes of this category of furniture while also adhering to the Alki universe, characterized by warmth and emotional attachment.

The office chair for people who don’t like office chairs.

We noticed that more and more people around us had less and less esteem for office chairs. The aesthetic codes for these chairs more closely resemble an « orthopaedic » tool than a cherished work companion. Moreover, most of the adjustment devices are only used very rarely. If, on top of that, one considers that in a good many cases, office chairs frequently change users, it seemed an interesting idea to get rid of its superfluous functions.

The functional characteristics of the Lan chair are inconspicuous: the mechanism disappears under the seat and the armrests form an integral part of the backrest. Meticulous work has been carried out on the shape, the contact zones and the choice of materials in order to create a congenial and comfortable object.
