The advantages of floor seating are a low point of view, a feeling of space, a sense of security and physical relaxation.
The floor chair has a gently curved surface for comfort and is designed to fit in with modern interiors.
The slightly higher seat surface makes standing up and sitting down easier, while the weight shift allows you to lean forward and work comfortably at the table.
The resin seat cushion does not wear out in comparison with urethane seats and can be wiped with water for long-lasting, clean use. Hollow and lightweight, it can also be used outdoors.
