The Gesture Chair feels like it’s anticipating your next move. Whether you’re leaning forward to type, reclining during a call, or swiveling between screens, the chair adjusts without needing manual tweaks. The LiveBack™ technology is especially noticeable when you shift positions — the backrest subtly follows your spine, offering support without resistance.
The armrests are a standout feature. Unlike most chairs that only go up and down, these rotate, slide, and pivot to match your posture — whether you’re typing, sketching, or scrolling on your phone.
While the seat is firm, it’s designed to distribute weight evenly, which helps reduce pressure points during long workdays. It’s not a sink-in-and-relax chair — it’s a stay-focused-and-supported chair.
