The new Wilkhahn office chair: simplicity is better
Ingenious simplicity, natural attractiveness and transparent logic are the fundamental characteristics that the wiege design studio has used to design the Neos office chair. All ergonomic functions have therefore been integrated to produce a clear, homogeneous design: the perfect ratio of the synchro-mechanism of the seat, the extension of the seat depth and backrest height or the 3D armrests combine form and function to create a calm, harmonious whole. The coherence of the design is underlined by using black-grey throughout for shells and mechanical parts. Neos has been reduced to essentials and may be operated completely intuitively. It goes to prove that simplifying design may not only enhance aesthetics but may actually make something better.

Update 11/2006

The new Neos office swivel chair is characterized by simple, straightforward yet attractive design and intuitive functions. At Orgatec 2006, Wilkhahn is presenting additions to the Neos chair family to enable offices and administration buildings to be furnished in a coherent design language: office chair variations with a semi-transparent backrest membrane and a newly developed, stackable cantilever model.

Neos model group with semi-transparent backrest membrane
“Dynamic sitting” is also the focal point of the new Neos models: a synchro-adjustment mechanism, specially coordinated with the lowering of the seat front, ensures that the office chair adjusts automatically to changes in posture.
The newly developed backrest combines these ergonomic aspects with aesthetics: a resilient, contoured backrest comprises a membrane in semi-transparent, air-permeable, high-performance material. This allows the backrest to adjust to the widest variety of dimensionally differing body proportions, to provide optimal support and ensures pleasant ventilation for the user’s back.

A height-adjustable lumbar support is an optional feature that the user can operate while remaining seated. It goes without saying that the new models conform to the time-tested, ergonomic concept of Neos office chairs, characterized by understated form, high-quality down to the very last detail and simple, intuitive adjustment.

Neos models with flexible backrest covering will be available from the second half-year of 2007.

Neos cantilever chair: simplicity _ multiplicity

The basic concept of the stackable cantilever model is ingeniously simple: a single-section, clearly and coherently designed seat shell is screw-fitted in a concealed manner into a bright chromium-plated steel frame, connected by means of a contoured, bright chromium-plated outer rail in die-cast zinc. The space between the seat shell and the curved outer rail serves as a grip for easy handling and allows flexible adjustment to the user’s back. In combination with the resilient frame, the result is a high degree of seated comfort.

Intelligent function of stackability: the only features that indicate that the chairs can be stacked five-high are the three dimensional curve of the frame and the v-shaped, lateral extensions of the seat shell.

Consistent with the clear form of the cantilever model, the armrests comprise round sleeves in a tactile, PVC-free elastomer material.

Simple design, high-quality elegance and versatile functionality make the Neos cantilever model an ideal multipurpose chair for conference, consultation and seminar areas. The shell is available optionally with exchangeable seat and back cushions or with a non-upholstered backrest.
Upholstery material may be selected from the entire Wilkhahn fabric collection.

Neos cantilever chairs will be available in 1/2007.
