Explore This Amazing WorkTux Chair
The Tux family is crafted with a dual focus on both style and functionality. Taking inspiration from the sophisticated elegance of tuxedo suits, the chair's two-piece structure is specifically engineered to offer optimal support to the lower back. This design aims to preserve the natural curvature of the spine, preventing discomfort often associated with extended periods of sitting. Additionally, the structure discreetly conceals the mechanical elements beneath the seat, contributing to the chair's distinctive character and distinguishing it from conventional office chairs.
