Project description.

Share this projectFacebookXLinkedIn
Zody II and Zody LX are the first and only chairs specifically designed for use with height adjustable tables to accommodate sitting and perching. First introduced 17 years ago, the Zody chair family offers an extensive breadth of possibilities – from traditional to progressive.

 

As different tasks are done throughout the day, Zody’s dual posture adjustment brings the seat to a perched height with a height adjustable table, providing another option between sitting and standing. The dual posture feature makes this chair a two-in-one seating solution. From a sit to a perch to a stool in one intuitive adjustment, well-being is supported in the workplace, home and anywhere work is done.   

 

The new Zody II and Zody LX promote healthy movement and user control for every person in whatever posture they choose. The back includes torsion flex and optional height adjustable lumbar to support the user. Zody arms have been enhanced to provide more comfort. All Zody task chairs offer patented Pelvic and Asymmetrical Lumbar (PAL) and dual posture as options. Zody’s innovation comes from pressure mapping and anthropometrics. Zody is the first and only chair endorsed by the American Physical Therapy Association.  

   

Manufacturing and environmental responsibility is not a trade-off; neither are profit and people. Haworth’s focus is on continuous improvement in the procurement, manufacturing and logistics of all products and to operate efficient facilities that are designed with the environment in mind. When the original Zody chair debuted in 2005, it was a leader in sustainability. Zody will be the first and only chair to be Cradle to Cradle (C2C) Gold Certified™ under the new, more rigorous Version 4.0 standard.  Zody also meets the demand for a circular economy by incorporating recycled content, healthy materials and programs that extend the product’s useful life and material recovery at the end of use.
