Choosing the right office chair can alleviate the soreness caused by prolonged sitting!
 

How to build up the office with industrial style ?

Industrial design elements originated in Europe. The pursuit of simple style emphasizes the mix and match of various materials. The design is to retain the original metal color, welding points or material structure which is naturally exposed. It is often used in style stores, residences, and offices, and has evolved to the present. Industrial style is the mainstream in today's office decoration. In fact, starting from the adjustment of some office tables and chairs, you can easily create an industrial style space, which is also one of the cost-effective ways to ornament the office.

Features of Industrial office chair

Most of the elements in the industrial style office will use simple materials with original texture. When choosing an industrial office chair, you can first select it with simple and generous lines and colors. Even if the color naturally consumed after use does not damage the original texture. Old feeling after use relatively enhances the unique vision of the industrial style.
 

4 tips for choosing an office chair
 

Backrest with good support

The back design of the office chair should not only naturally conform to your body curve but have good adjustability. In other words, having a office chair coming with adjustable back function is very important. Not only adjustable back angle/height but also lower lumbar support, a good office chair allows you to work comfortably and reduce the discomfort caused by prolonged sitting. Whether you straighten up waist or slightly recline, an excellent backrest should effectively bear the pressure that back and waist bring and alleviate stiff muscles in a timely manner.
 

Seat cushion design needs to be fit for yourself

We recommend that you choose an industrial office chair with a certain gap between the edge of the cushion and the rear of knee joint. This gap is about 2~3 fingers wide. If the seat cushion is too long or too big, your kneepit will be touched against the seat cushion, causing poor blood circulation, foot numbness and discomfort while prolonged sitting. Likewise, office chair with smaller seat cushion will not provide enough support for your thighs and buttock. The most important thing is to differentiate the types of internal foam.In general there're three kinds of foam to apply to the OA seat & back cushion in the market. 
 

1.Eco-foam

It is made by the scrap foam recycled from cutting process, combining it with special process with various density and hardness. 

2. General foam

 It can be cut to fit the seat or backrest shape with basic density and hardness.Also, its density, hardness, tear strength, tensile strength, elongation and resilience can be easily adjusted and customized. 

3. Molded foam

It is formed on the basis of chair design with high density and harness and provides excellent elasticity, support and air permeability.

Durability: 3 > 2 > 1

Some suppliers may fill in eco-foam only on seat/back cushion to save cost, however it will lead to low reliability to the whole chair and harm the body indirectly. Filling in eco-foam only as seat/back cushion can't provide ample support and comfort persistently for buttock and thighs.

In view of this, we suggest that you can check with staff about the foam type and sit to test when buying a chair. Kanewell sees customers' experience as a top priority, all of our chairs are adopted with molded foam or general foam in strengthened density. 

Adjustable seat posture and height

The ideal sitting posture is the thighs are parallel to the ground and the knees are bent at about 90° to let feet naturally step on the ground. This is the most ideal height. It can not only increase the stability of the body, but also protect your spine. Although workers in an office have different figures, they use the same size office chair mostly. If the office chair comes with synchronized mechanism, it will be very helpful. Synchronized mechanism contains tilt function (forward/backward), pneumatic seat height and back angle/height adjustment or further install slider to have desired seat depth. Kanewell always focus on these details and continuously optimize customer experience. Our industrial office chairs can do it. Workers will have the most proper sitting posture by flexibly using synchronized mechanism.

Regarding the seat cushion, we adopt molded foam to provide excellent durability and exquisite soft fabric that is stain-proof and easy to clean.

If the tension is too low to provide enough back support, it will be a failed mesh chair.
