The successful event series entitled “Talk of Town” organised by the Karben-based furniture manufacturer enters its second phase.
Karben, November 2009 – The Karben-based furniture manufacturer König + Neurath is using the “Talk of Town” event series to present the two product innovations JUVENTA and OKAY.II to the trade, once again underlining its expertise in the chair market following the successful launch of SENSONA. Highly functional as well as featuring outstanding ergonomic properties and a modern design; this was the brief for the development of these two new chair models. At seven events held in the K+N branch offices, dealers were able to experience a whole new sitting sensation, with the theme “Sits like a glove”.
JUVENTA: the most intelligent solution is simple
With JUVENTA, all the individual requirements and needs of a modern task chair have been implemented without neglecting the high standard of ergonomic comfort. A proven synchronous mechanism ensures that the chair movements follow the body closely during dynamic sitting. The anatomically-shaped, flexible backrest provides the back with optimum support in every sitting position. König + Neurath defines the ergonomic minimum for a task chair with these two must-haves. The seat element, armrests and starbase are available in three colourways to give you the optimum basis for contemporary chair design – classic, timeless black, subtle light grey or cool white. The chair can be configured with removable coloured back cushions, transforming the purist chair into an individually-styled task chair – to match a company’s corporate image. JUVENTA comes with a synchronous mechanism as standard, so that it offers ergonomic features that are above average even for an entry-level chair, and optional extras can be added to tailor the chair to individual requirements, for instance the height-adjustable lumbar support, multifunctional armrests or seat depth adjustment. This means that JUVENTA can offer everything you would expect from a contemporary office chair today: brand quality, perfect ergonomics with add-on accessories and a modern design – all at a price that gives you impressive value for money!
Your back breathes a sigh of relief with OKAY.II!
With the new OKAY.II chair, König + Neurath focuses on the combination of the established vsp synchronous mechanism with a new backrest concept. The user can choose between two high-quality backrest styles for extremely comfortable sitting: the highly flexible, breathable mesh option allows air to circulate freely and provides a comfortable counter-pressure. The mesh back also gives the chair a certain lightness and elegance, so that it integrates perfectly with existing room concepts. A weight-bearing elastic 3D fabric is used for the upholstered backrest alternative, which ensures an ideal temperature balance. The core of this new backrest concept is a new type of lumbar support that can be adjusted asymmetrically and is integrated almost invisibly into the backrest. It features infinitely variable adjustment in height and depth, so that the user’s lumbar region is supported precisely according to his requirements and preferences. This takes the strain off the intervertebral discs, and it is possible to correct bad posture individually. The eye-catching feature of the sophisticated, elegant chair is the substantially designed backrest support that forms a bridge between the backrest and seat. There is a choice of finishes for this design focal point – chrome, polished aluminium or powder-coated in colours from the K+N range. OKAY.II is rounded off with a height-adjustable headrest and 3D multifunction armrests. This high-quality, back-friendly task chair has everything you could wish for.
