Introducing the Karman Office Chair by Steelcase

As the world spent countless hours on video calls throughout the pandemic, sitting in chairs of various quality, the Steelcase Design Studio already recognised it was time to create the next generation of ergonomic chairs.

People were working in new ways before the crisis, and as people became more aware of the need for comfort, the Steelcase team understood they needed to create a new kind of chair.

Steelcase Karman goes beyond leading mesh chairs with 21st-century aesthetics that naturally respond to a body’s movement, delivering ergonomic industry-leading comfort, and sustainability.

Steelcase Karman’s patented hybrid seat is unlike any other. The suspension seat with integrated cushioning provides maximum comfort for as long as you sit. The ultra-light frame flexes to eliminate painful pressure points common in other mesh chairs.

A one-of-a-kind patented hybrid seat with integrated cushioning provides maximum comfort for as long as you sit – never sinks, never stiff like other mesh chairs.

Steelcase Karman offers unparalleled comfort with these key comfort features.
