With Spine, 15° Tilt system, Suspender and topology optimization engineering, it is much lighter, cheaper than conventional office chairs and also structurally stable.

The chair has the equal functionality as it has the same density as general petroleum plastics, but DESKTOP CHAIR is 100% biodegraded by microorganisms in soils upon disposal within 6 months.
