NorthCape Executive Chair

Northcape executive chair winner of Red Dot Office Design Award 2021

NorthCape Executive is a high back swivel chair and winner of the Red Dot Office Design Award in 2021.

Distinctive in appearance with the option of a plain or horizontal linear stitch pattern to the backrest, and with high sides forming integrated upholstered armrests or regular armrests, this chair oozes style and quality.  Certainly the judges at Red Dot thought so!

Here below are the standard configurations you can choose from, and of course each one is upholstered in a fabric of your choice from a wide selection of premium leather, faux leather, wools and hard performance polyesters.

Operation and Comfort

Illustration showing central tilt mechanism of a knee tilt chairNorthCape Executive features a centrally pivoting knee tilt mechanism, meaning that when you lean back the whole chair will tilt. The stiffness or effort needed to push the chair back can be adjusted with a tensioning control so that it suits you weight and strength. If you prefer it not to tilt, you can lock it off in any one of 4 different reclined (or upright) positions.

And this is not just a chair for the executive office. NorthCape is equally at home in the boardroom where its design is at one with the quality and style usually expected of a high-end boardroom meeting chair.
