Eurotech’s New Model

The folks over at Eurotech know their chairs.  The Ergohuman alone is our most popular model, coming in around several thousand sales per year.  Their new model introduces two wonderful features that promote simplicity and elegance of design.

Ergo-chic

Say goodbye to tons of buttons and levers - for 2012, Eurotech’s upped the ante in ergonomic seating with a brand new single lever mechanism that controls your seat height, seat slide position and back angle.

Do your elbows slide off your armrests?  Eurotech’s come up with a solution. You can now adjust your armrest position and angle as well as the height.

Total adjustment equals total comfort

Eurotech’s taken a clean, beautiful design and made it even more accomodating to their customer base.  And, at half the price of a Herman Miller, Eurotech’s providing their consumers with exceptional value.  Contact us to order yours today!

It’s promotion time again…

Fans of large office chairs, rejoice! ERA debuts their Quick Ship Program this week for two of their great big seating options, the gorgeous Galaxy and the colossal Chairman.

seating inc. task stools

“What do you have for a really tall desk?” You might be surprised how often we receive that query here at SeatingZone. Folks who work at receptionist centers, counters, or in special workstations are all in need of the same thing: seating that goes above and beyond your average office chair, literally!

 

Here’s one task stool, the Seating Inc. Zircon II. Crazily customizable, with a zillion options and even more fabric choices, it’s rated up to 275 lbs. and protected under a lifetime warranty.

The Zircon II is one of many awesome Seating Inc. chairs we carry, most of them designed for intensive or specialty use or with a high weight rating. The whole line is worth checking out if this is the sort of chair that meets your needs, and chances are, Seating Inc. has a chair that will…whether or not you need it to reach that super-high counter.

let it snow, let it snow…

…you know the rest. Providence (along with the rest of the Northeastern seaboard) got slammed by a mega-blizzard over the holiday weekend.

Not at all a picture from said blizzard, this is snow furniture made last year by a student at UWisc Madison. But it's pretty cool, eh?

Now, I’ve been thinking carefully about which of our chairs I would have most like to have spent the blizzard sitting in. Granted, we mostly sell office chairs, and we’ve already featured a lot of them on the blog. But I’ve come to the careful conclusion that this is the chair I would have chosen:

This is the Marlan Seating Executive Leather Traditional Chair in a soft, luscious cream color. Something that isn’t black or another dark hue seems like the perfect choice for snow-viewing.

Of course, I suppose everyone has their own opinion…

Sometimes you need a really big chair. Whether it’s due to LCS (Large Chair Syndrome) as depicted in this cartoon, or because you really need something substantial and sturdy, SeatingZone’s got the line for you: ERA Products. Makers of fine big & tall chairs, ERA is famous for creating custom seating in luxury vans and the like. It’s this attention to quality and detail they bring to their office chairs, all of which feature a steel frame! But seriously, don’t just take my word for it: this video shows you the insides of an ERA chair as well as the outs, and it’s built like a machine!

To illustrate:

Sturdy on the inside….

 

…still purdy on the outside!

chairs for novelists

As you may or may not know, November is National Novel Writing Month. Some of us crazy enough to say goodbye to our sleep and our sanity for 30 days have gleefully taken up this popular annual challenge of trying to pound out a 50,000 word novel over the course of a mere month. That’s about how many words The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald runs (though it probably took him longer than a month to write).

Sitting in the right chair is crucial to anyone with writerly aspirations, as I’m sure F. Scott knew. (He must have – there he is, sitting in one!) Do you have a perfect novel-writing chair? Write in to areia at seatingzone dot com and tell us all about it! I’ve already asked one NaNoWriMo participant which SeatingZone chair she’d like to do her writing in, and she chose this classic and very affordable Basyx leather mid-back office chair with wood frame, proving that you don’t need a throne to start writing your masterpiece.

coming soon: lifeform chairs!

Doing a Google image search for the generic term “lifeform” comes up with some pretty scary pictures (mainly of hideous alien artefacts, both “real” and imagined), so I’m afraid I won’t be including them to liven up this post at all. Fortunately for me, the Lifeform relevant to SeatingZone’s interest is a little less creepy: Lifeform Chairs!

Customers have been asking us about Lifeform for awhile, and with good reason. The company has a manufacturing history going back generations and maintains their high standards to this day. I like how their Mission Statement puts it:

…Sit back, close your eyes and experience the excellence of five generations of furniture manufacturing; taking the craft back to a small town in Europe. To a time when a shopkeeper was just as proud of keeping the sidewalk out front of his shop clean as the quality and workmanship of his product. At LIFEFORM, we believe that the right furniture is essential to your well being whether at work or at leisure. Our mission is to bring to the marketplace the best quality products, using our generations of knowledge and craftsmanship. We hope you enjoy your furniture as much as our family has enjoyed making it.

Through our past, we manufacture the quality to take us into the future…

So other than high standards and a great history, what makes Lifeform special? Their chairs are all completely customizable! Beginning with one of four models, you can then go on to choose cover type (including genuine leather), additional upgrades such as head rests, and even a color that can be based on a specific photo that you provide. The end result is highly personalized, awesome quality, ergonomically correct seating!

Stay tuned to SeatingZone.com for Lifeform chairs! Between these and Humanscale, we’re really going all out with the options lately. Perfect chairs, here we come…

HON office furniture: Extreme Makeover!

SeatingZone is an authorized HON dealer, and we’re very proud of that fact! What’s not to be proud of when they’re doing great deeds? In additional to making stylish and sturdy office furniture, the HON company recently teamed up with ‘Extreme Makeover: Home Edition’ to rebuild Lighthouse Christian School in Nashville, TN.

According to the official website, HON installed classrooms and several offices worth of furniture to help the school recover from the damage sustained during the May flooding. They also provided furnishings for the VIP tent, making it quite the attractive and comfy place to hang out.

Shelley DeSilva, VP of marketing, stated: “‘Extreme Makeover’ is a rare breed reality show that celebrates the indomitable American spirit and illustrates how important collaboration and cooperation are among individuals… These are The HON Company’s core values, as well, so we feel especially privileged to be participating in this project.” (source)

The HON episode of ‘Extreme Makeover: Home Edition’ will be airing on ABC sometime this fall. In the meantime, if you find yourself in need of a killer office chair in a dazzling array of color choices (even the mesh!), why not check out one of HON’s most recent bestsellers, the Nucleus?
