Think is a task chair with a brain and a conscience. It’s intelligent enough to understand how you sit, and adjusts itself accordingly and intuitively. Extensive research and pressure map testing helped Steelcase to design back flexors that provide dynamic, continuous support. The Integrated LiveBack System conforms to your body, fluidly mimicking your spine and moving with you as you change postures. A weight-activated mechanism recognizes your weight, while a comfort dial allows you to adjust the amount of back tension and recline. Think is also thoughtful enough to measure and minimize its impact on the environment, due to its ease of disassembly and recycling. Here’s how it all breaks down:
11
years since Think was originally designed and produced
8
minutes is the time the average worker spends per transition to settle in and refocus
16
the number of schools, colleges, and universities in the United States where Steelcase conducted design research studies
2.5 million
miles driven, or 100 trips around the world, equals the amount of emissions reduction resulting from the nearly 28% recycled content in the chair
4
positions allow the user to adjust the level of tension and recline
95
percent recyclable at end of life
1914
the year of Steelcase’s first patent for metal desks
