Dimensions
Coming soon. Online presentations in development.
Dimensions Notice: Dimensions are recorded by Via Seating engineers using a BIFMA Chair Measuring Device® (CMD) & the BIFMA Universal Measuring Procedure. This is a weighted device, which simulates an actual person sitting in a chair. This allows the results to be true to actual use of the chair. Within these actuals, our engineers record the true seat reference point (SRP) or seat depth measurement, defined as the slight indentation in the lumbar (ie. where the sitter is benefiting from the lumbar support) to the front edge of the seat. This important accurate measurement is useful for ergonomists to correctly match up the SRP to hip to knee measurements, helping the sitter achieve an ideal three finger gap between the back of the leg to the edge of the seat. For the purpose of Spec It & marketing tools, this number is rounded to the nearest 0.5.
