Don Chadwick, designer of the Herman Miller Aeron chair, lends his name and design hand to the Knoll Chadwick chair. The clean, simple design minimizes user controls to two points of manual adjustment (seat height and recline tension). Remaining adjustments are handled by the Chadwick chair's spring-loaded Active Suspension mechanism which synchronizes recline and tilt tension, opening the users torso on recline and maintaining contact with the user and the seat back. The tight-woven mesh fabric ventilates while conforming to each individuals curves. This personal fit minimizes pressure points and reduces sitting fatigue.

Knoll Chadwick Chair Features

• Suspension fabric's elastomeric construction conforms to your body's shape, reducing pressure points while offering comfort and air flow
• Variable seat depth automatically adjusts to fit almost everyone (range of 16.9" - 19.4")
• Forward seat tilt adjusts automatically to allow you to sit forward while typing to maintain a healthy lordotic curve, increasing stability and reducing fatigue
• Built-in lumbar support offers ample and flexible support as you move. If you require additional lumbar support, a height adjustable, magnetic lumbar support option is available and is also retrofit-able
• Flexing armpads are designed like a suspension bridge so they flex to offer additional "give" to eliminate pressure points on your arms
• Standard, adjustable arms offer lever-free 2.5" height adjustment range and 1" width adjustment (0.5" inward or outward)
• Soft molded tension adjustment knob ensures each user approximately 17 levels of customized comfort when reclining. To decrease the tension, turn the tension knob (while seated in the chair) clockwise, and turn it counterclockwise to increase the tension

Options

Arms

If you choose no arms for your Chadwick Chair, arms can be added at a later time.

• Fixed arms - Available for non-task applications such as conference room use
• Standard adjustable arms - User-friendly and include height adjustability and armpad-width positioning
  • No lever required to adjust the height; simply move the arms up in five 0.5" increments for a total of 2.5"
  • To lower the arms, lift them to the highest point and pull up firmly; they will return to the lowest point
  • Leverless and easy-to-maneuver arm height adjustment
  • Using a 5/32" Allen wrench, the armpads can be moved outward 0.5" or inward 0.5" from center for a total of 1"
• Tall adjustable arms - Give 0.75" more height to the arm to meet the BIFMA tall end of the range. As with the seat height cylinder, BIFMA allows manufacturers to meet the specification with one or more arms

Casters

Select carpet or hard floor casters. Glides are also available on the Chadwick ergonomic chair if casters are not necessary.

Fabric

The Chadwick's proprietary elastomeric suspension fabric comes in three colors.

Tilt Stop

The tilt stop is an upright tilt limiter. When specified, it is the lever on the left side of the chair. The in-and-out lever design operates with an audible click so the user knows that the adjustment has been activated, whereby "in" is engaged, "out" is not engaged.

Lumbar Support

The Chadwick has an optional patent-pending lumbar support cleverly designed to attach to the chair with magnets, making it simple to retrofit. The magnetic attachment also enables the lumbar numerous adjustability options. The pad is made of a soft thermoplastic elastomer and is amply shaped (11" x 4.25") for a greater lumbar support area.

Seat Height

With a sculpted lever, the seat height adjustment is easy to find and operate. Like many chairs, the Chadwick also has two other cylinder options, low and high, to meet the entire Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturers Association (BIFMA) range. Knoll also offers a drafting chair option on the Chadwick.
