MultiGeneration Light Task Chair by Knoll
designed by Formway Design
MultiGeneration by Knoll® Light Task is a simple, small-scale task chair with a responsive, open design that allows you to fidget to focus. It encourages natural movement, allowing us to focus, interact and collaborate more effectively.
The full, curved back allows for upper body movement and supports the lower back for upright, interactive postures, while a gently contoured seat with rounded corners and a cantilevered arm design lets you shift positions easily. The arms feature contoured arm pads to lean against when side sitting.
The flexing shell of the seat provides comfort and promotes natural movement without the need for a mechanism. The back of the chair, while visually simple, is designed for performance. The perforated back makes the chair more breathable than typical shell chairs. The rolled top edge serves as an armrest for side sitting and a handle for easy transport.

- Perforated back provides airflow and coordinates with Generation by Knoll® family of chairs
