molded plywood.
The outer layer of the plywood is
available in several wood species
and finishes: beech, ash, cherry,
oak, walnut or wenge, whilst the
internal layers are of beech. The
wood comes from French sustainable
managed forests.
The chair is also available with

curve as to adapt comfortably
to the inner part of the knee,
essential when seating for long
periods.

chair are in metal. Optional wooden
or plastic arm-trims can be
attached for extra comfort.

Movement of the Egoa chair
One of the most important features
of the Egoa chair is the
power of movement.
The backrest of the chair follows
the movements of the user. The
backrest maintains contact with
the lumbar area and helps the
sitter move naturally.
The movement of the seat &
back are the most important
design elements of the Egoa
chair.
The seat & back accommodate to
the sitter, adjusting accordingly
to it’s weight and movement.
STACKING
The design of Egoa allows it to
be stacked up to 8 units high.
Stacking of the Egoa chair with
wooden armrest is not advised.
We recommend the Egoa with
metal or plastic arms for stacking
purposes.
STEEL BAR
A steel bar welded to the frame
brings stability and strength to
the chair.
FEET
The Egoa frame sits on four grey
colored plastic gliders. These can
be removed for use on a carpeted
floor.
SCREWS

are significant to the Egoa chair
assembly. The Egoa chair can
be assembled in less than one
minute with only an allen key.

to the Egoa without any frame
modification. The chromed steel
link is attached to the frame by
pressure.
