If you peruse the Steelcase range on its site (select your region from the top left), it becomes clear that the company is very much design and engineering driven. There’s a chair there of just about every type, and there’s an obvious care that’s been put into making each one a great execution of its particular design ethos. They’re mostly all straightforward and there are few eyebrow-raising surprises.
Enter the Karman. This is the most radical chair, I think, in the Steelcase range. It may not look so from the pictures, but this one embraces a concept that’s very different. Can this fresh thinking provide the comfort and posture health you’re looking for, though?
