4-UP

Discover 4-UP, the true sit-to-stand experience with dynamic, telescoping gaslift. Unlike solutions before only allowing a user to sit or perch, this revolutionary seat allows users to tap into the full functionally of their sitto-stand desk. With 4-UP, a person can sit, stand & access every position in between. Combined with a seat depth adjustment, ergonomic forward tilt & Via Seating’s proprietary injection-molded comfort foam, it is no wonder 4-UP was the first ever Best of NeoCon Business Impact award winner for an ergonomic desk chair.
