Project Description

From important client consultation to project planning and impending deadlines, busy professionals are required to meet more than a few expectations throughout the day. That’s why easy support and intuitive performance should be the status quo. Cipher™ task and guest seating, designed in-house by HON’s Industrial Design Manager, was crafted with the user in mind, for a tailor-made seating experience.

Discomfort is a distraction, so productivity starts when users feel comfortable and supported. Cipher’s intentional design puts the user at ease, allowing them to concentrate on meeting the demands of their day. The low-profile controls put adjustments right at the user’s fingerprints, and the integrated weight-activated functionality lets the chair move with the user as they readjust throughout the day.

Multi-adjustable lumbar support allows users to independently adjust the tension and position of each side to meet their exact needs for optimal comfort, all while keeping an open-back aesthetic. The thin profile and clean lines pair beautifully with custom visual tie-ins, such as a contrasting seat stitch, or pops of accent colors to indicate adjustability on the arms and lumbars. Textured arm rests recall the contours of modern automobile design for a contemporary style that gives the chair a refined and sculpted look.

Cipher’s modern look and remarkable adaptability allow the chair to work in any space. From workstations to private offices, Cipher cracks the code with efficient, comprehensive performance.
