Our Executive Chairs are mainly ergonomic task chairs with synchronous or other advanced mechanisms and with enhanced features and aesthetics to set them apart from regular office chairs such as higher backrests, headrests, deeper padding and upgraded upholstery in the form of quality leathers or fabrics.
Traditionally, executive chairs had little in the way of ergonomics and usually incorporated a ’tilt mechanism’ by which the angle between the backrest and the seat pad is fixed and the entire seat would rock backwards and forwards at the base. These were, and still are considered fine if used only for short periods, or if work doesn’t involve working at a computer keyboard or sitting forward much of the time, and there are still many such ’tilt-mechanism’ chairs available, including a number that we offer such as our North Cape range pictured above. But no matter how sumptuous the chair is and how beautiful it looks, if it is to be used extensively by someone who spends a lot of time sitting at their desk typing at a computer keyboard, or leaning forward to write, read or or both, then an ergonomic chair (with the same mechanics as good office task chairs) would be a far safer bet and the good news is that there are plenty to choose from.
