1 Uneo Collection Design by Martin Ballendat

2 The perfect dynamic chair for weighty work. Uneo is a self-adjusting, high-performance task chair that dynamically responds to your body weight. Its durable frame brilliantly supports posture changes. The 70cm 5-star base diameter helps maintain balance against tipping and encourages safety at work, as well as freedom of movement. Uneo s high quality and safety standards have been approved internationally by GS Certification from LGA (Landesgewerbeanstalt Bayern) Institute.

3 Uneo s sturdy and ergonomic build, its stylish and contemporary looks make it a natural choice for modern offices, personal workspaces like homeoffices. Overall, it is the perfect match for any desk-bound task and an advanced performance task chair. Synchronous back tilt mechanism Integrated lumbar support. Light gray or black frame. Rich fabric, leather or eco-leather material options for the seat. High-tech mesh fabric backrest. Concealed control buttons for increased safety and aesthetics.

4 Dyna-Support Plus is response: It reacts to the weight of you, eliminating the need to make any special adjustments. It is a weight-activated mechanism with synchronous motion that helps keep your body in a healthy, natural position through average working hours. And it may be personalized for extra comfort, regardless of body size or type with quick and fine adjustments. Ideal choice for all living and working environments, as well as executive offices. Uneo Light Grey Uneo Black

5 Backrest Tilt Synchronously moving seat during the back tilt offers balanced protection of the distance between the lower back and sitting surface. Uneo Dyna-Support Plus s backrest tilt offers 20.5 degrees of back tilt. May be limited in 3 different angles and locked in an upright position.

6 Seat Depth By fine-tuning the seat depth, a more natural and supportive sitting experience becomes achievable. Adjustable seat slide mechanism allows easy back and forward adjustment of the seat pan. It also helps users with different upper leg lengths to effectively find their most comfortable seated position.

7 Lumbar Support Integrated lumbar support may be adjusted to accommodate for any body size, relaxing the lower back.

8 Armrest Height Easily and individually adjust each armrest s height to minimize the risk of discomfort. Ideally, the work surface should be at level with or a rest a little lower than your elbow. Adjusting armrests to your task in this way helps reduce the recurrence of repetitive strain injuries like tennis elbow or CTS (carpal tunnel syndrome).

9 Armrest Width Minimize articular disturbances caused by long hours of work. Reduce accumulating fatigue in the shoulders and the neck by customizing the armrest width to your body and your task.

10 Armrest Pad Width If anytime you feel that adjusting the armrests widths were not enough, you may fine tune each armrest pad width to your working comfort. Each wrist is cared for.

11 Armrest Pad Rotation Pads may be adjusted in a full 360-degree fashion. By mimicking the elbow angle, they allow for the correct body posture to be maintained.

12 Armrest Pad Movement Easily slide the armrest pads forward and backwards to support your elbows in various working positions.

13 DIMENSIONS (mm) Note Uneo also has a version without armrest.
