The award-winning Genie® series designed by Henner Jahns gets an upgraded with Genie Flex. This latest task chair uses a robust Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) material that is remarkable. It is the same material found in athletic running shoes and is also used as a rubber replacement in engineering seals for heavy duty industrial applications. Visualizing its use here in a chair, you experience exceptional support and comfort with 4-way stretch in the material. It is abrasion/scratch resistant, grease and oil stain resistant and is bleach cleanable. Sustainability wise it is 100% chlorine and PVC free and 100% recyclable!

Genie flex is warranted for 12 years 24/7 i.e. all components, including foam seat, including TPU material.

Seat Reference Point (SRP),
The ergonomic seat depth measurement.

 

Measurement G (and not measurement H) is the true seat reference point. SRP is an ergonomic term that defines where there is a slight indentation in the lumbar (i.e. where the sitter is benefiting from the lumbar support) to the front edge of the seat. It gives the true measurement of surface area in contact with the body. It is very useful for correctly matching up with hip to knee measurements for ergonomists taking into account the two – three finger gap between the back of the leg to the edge of the seat. It is very important to ensure no restriction in circulation to the lower extremities (lower legs and ankles).
