Steelcase QiVi 5-Star Base Chair
designed by Steelcase Design Studio with Stefan Brodbeck
We're more effective at work when we're comfortable, whether at our desks or at the conference table. Sadly, there aren't many meeting chairs that are actually comfortable. Steelcase came up with QiVi to counter that trend. This is a conference chair makes it easier for you to stay engaged in meetings. QiVi adjusts to your posture. You'll see fewer yawns and more ideas with the QiVi 5-Star Base Chair.
What's To Like:
- Pivoting Back
The QiVi Chair comes standard with a pivoting backrest, which freely tilts to give the sitter a tailored seat back angle. Whatever position you're in, QiVi's backrest will feel right. Due to the pivoting angle, the edge at the top of the backrest creates no uncomfortable cut-off - so even we tall folks have reason to rejoice. Oh, and it's breathable, too.
- Sliding Seat
The QiVi Chair (both sled base and five-star base versions) features an optional sliding seat pan. For a conference chair that is supposed to fit everyone in the building, that's great news. You won't feel like you're having to work to stay comfortable. QiVi's seat moves with you no matter what your position.
- Sustainability
Not only is the QiVi Chair PVC-free and made from 27% recycled content, but it's also 99% recyclableby weight. And all plastic parts are labeled for sorting if you should ever decide it's time to recycle QiVi. See below for more environmental information.
