ERGO Info

The body was designed to move. If your chair has a recline tension control, adjust it so the backrest supports you in both upright and reclined positions.

Awards

Designed to move with the body and minimize pressure points, Cinto breaks the number one rule for stacking chairs—it’s comfortable! Ideal for commercial and residential use, Cinto features an innovative backrest that provides recline and automatically adjusting lumbar support, plus a seat pan design that uniquely distributes the sitter’s weight and reduces pressure points.

Note: White, Light Blue, Green, Red and Yellow finishes are on backorder until Q3 2011.

Features

Traditional stacking chairs save space, but most lack extended sitting comfort and proper back support. Cinto’s innovative design boasts ergonomic features to dramatically improve the sitting experience over other stackable seating solutions.

 

TRADITIONAL STACKING CHAIR: Inflexible Backrest
Usability studies prove poor back support and insufficient backrest flexibility are associated with many stacking chairs.

CINTO: Floating Backrest
Cinto’s backrest is attached to the chair frame via a flexible belt, allowing the backrest to bend and adjust with the sitter.

 

TRADITIONAL STACKING CHAIR: Insufficient Lumbar Support
Traditional designs fail to provide sufficient lumbar support necessary for comfortable long-term sitting.

CINTO: Virtual Pivot Point
The flexibility of Cinto’s backrest creates a virtual pivot point that provides automatic and ideal lumbar support for nearly every user.

 

TRADITIONAL STACKING CHAIR: Seated Positions Create Stress
Pressure mapping studies show that the area around the sitting bones experiences a great deal of contact stress when seated on typical molded plastic seats.

CINTO: Stress-Relief Cross-Slits
A pattern of stress-relief cross-slits on Cinto’s seat pan flex independently under the sitting bones to provide even weight distribution and reduce pressure points.
