The Ergonomics That You Don't Know About
The normal human body has three physiological curvatures. Due to physiological requirements, they do not grow in one straight line. The thoracic vertebrae is convex, and the cervical and lumbar vertebrae are convex forward. From side view, the spine looks like two “S” are connected together.
In order to balance the pressure of the lumbar spine and reduce the muscle tension of lower back, the lumbar spine must be effective supported.
Pure Scandinavian Style
The ORCA chair is designed in pure Scandinavian style where combines the aesthetics and functionality .The backrest comes in 2 parts so that the lumbar support could be height adjusted according to different body height to provide the customized support and comfort .The innovative system offers the firm support to users lower back that helps the users sitting in the correct position during working time to reduce the fatigue from sitting stationary throughout the day. When you get tired of sitting, it also provides you extreme comfort in relaxed leaning back position.
2 chairs in 1
The innovative Orca chair has 2 functions in 1. The chair adapts perfect for and active working task position but also for a comfortable relaxing position.

The body is leaning on both the lower and upper backrest as both backrest pieces moves independent from each other. This creates a great comfort in relaxing position.
optimal support for each area of your back.
31 experiments of lumbar support engineering, 12 times of prototype making, repeated structural tests, only for the extraordinary sitting experience
The backrest of ORCA fits closely with the physiological curvature of user`s spine which provides fully support while accommodating different body sizes to achieve the healthy sitting posture. Our engineer tested the structures repeatedly and made adjustments from different experiments accordingly until achieving the best visual and sitting experience.
Backrest Adjustment
The height of backrest could be adjusted freely by simply pulling it up with 2 hands and it will be returned to the lowest height automatically when it`s pulled to the top, With the stroke distance of 80mm, it could be adjusted for the users with different heights.
