Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec's Worknest Task Chair

Swivel Seat. Does the world need another task chair? What if it was designed by the Bouroullec Brothers? Produced by Vitra, the Worknest is most notable for its vast color palette and hidden "ergonomic technology"...

The majority of levers and dials that adjust the chair are hidden in the design (sometimes underneath the knit fabric) creating a sleek and minimal look. The Worknest complements the Joyn system! Has anyone sat in a Worknest chair?

That chair is perfect! I have been trying to find the perfect chair to go with my mid century modern home and furnishings but have not found a suitable "antique" that would provide a full days worth of comfort. I really love the lines on this one. Do you have any ideas as to who is selling it?

"Does the world need another task chair?"

Wow, I can't wait to try this. I need an ergonomically nice chair, but couldn't bring myself to get the aeron. This is so much prettier.

i sat in this at june at neocon in chicago. the chair is comfortable. also a very "clean" aesthetic. external adjustments are back tension, back lock, and pneumatic height (under the chair), and lumbar adjustment (knob on back). the arms adjust up/down with the press of a button. the knit covering stretches with the arm. multiple colors for the upholstery and arm cap covers. most likely available through vitra retailers (call vitra in nyc) or any contract furniture dealer that sells vitra. not inexpensive (around $2000 list, although most contract dealers sell at a discount).
