Humanscale introduces its Liberty chair, a new task and conference chair that utilizes the company’s patent-pending Form-Sensing Mesh Technology. The chair combines the benefits of traditional mesh seating – breathability, durability, sustainability and aesthetic appeal – with the support of highly contoured foam cushions.

In addition to providing support, the chair’s mesh is low-abrasion, so it will protect suits and other clothing from undue wear. The mesh chair is available with fixed arms, no arms and height adjustable arms.

Allsteel introduces Nimble, a high-density stacking chair with a generous seat. Weighing in at just under 15 pounds, it is designed for cafeterias, meeting rooms, libraries and more.

The recyclable polypropylene shell fits users of all shapes and sizes and the contoured back and seat with waterfall edges help reduce fatigue. The chair is available in four solid colors – Black, Blue, Cardinal Red, and Deep Wisteria; and two new translucent colors — Lime Green and Milky White.

The new Sherwood table from SurfaceWorks features SAFEEdge, a polyurethane seamless edge that is soft and pliable, cushioning the blow if someone falls against the table or when tables are banged together. The option is designed for applications where seniors or toddlers are present. PURWood, another polyurethane edge style, is available for facilities that want the look of a solid wood finish, but require a table that is more durable to withstand daily abuse.

The table is also available in PURTech, a polyurethane seamless edge that offers a high-tech look.

BioFit Engineered Products offers a heavy-duty ergonomic chair for applications where support and adjustability are important to anesthesiologists. The anesthesiology chair, Model No. 4W52-ASC-ATF-ERB-R, features an ergonomic backrest with lumbar curve for low back support. A four-way contour seat with waterfall front evenly distributes the user’s weight and the backrest’s plastic panel and the seat’s internal bumper guard protect against wear.

A seated individual can adjust seat and backrest height and tilt.

Allsteel Inc.’s Sum chair collection has been expanded to include a conference chair, work stools, a guest chair and a new finish option. The work stools feature an automatic lumbar system and weight-activated control, giving users passive ergonomic tasking support for their standing-height workstations. The guest chair has a uniquely flexing back and soft arm cap option. The manufacturer is now offering a polished aluminum base/yoke option for all the chairs.

The Cura Collection of health care seating from Brayton International addresses the needs of patients, caregivers and facilities managers by providing ergonomics, ease of use and site-renewable high- wear components.

A unitized seat/back frame and suspension tensioning system provide comfort due to inherent flexing motion while facilitating simple, on-site cover rotation and replacement. The company offers more than 70 models configurable for institutional environments. Maple veneer, resin, or laminate arm caps can be specified.
