Bene showcases RIYA office chair at Milan fair
Bene is showcasing its new RIYA office swivel chair, designed by the London design studio PearsonLloyd, at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2013.
The name RIYA is derived from the ancient Greek word for river. It was chosen to reflect RIYA’s ability to go with the flow wherever it is used in a modern, open office. It has rounded shapes, as well as clear and simply-designed control elements. The chair’s form adapts to the user’s body shape and posture, thanks to its easy-to-use and easy to find bright orange controls.
The chair can switch effortlessly between different workers in a shared working environment, making it a key component in an open and humane workplace culture. One of the greatest strengths of RIYA is its adaptability. The chair gives users a choice of two adjustment techniques. For shared workspaces, RIYA‘s automatic weight adjustment option makes it ideal for switching between different users, while for workers who spend long periods sitting at a personal workstation, a classic synchro-mechanism enables them to achieve the perfect fit.
The lumbar support not only offers ergonomic comfort, it is also a design feature. The high back option encloses the user to increase their visual and acoustic privacy for quiet, focussed work. A wide choice of colours and textures are available for the seats and backrests.
In addition, its dynamic form and inviting aesthetic make the chair a great addition to the modern office. For the launch of RIYA, the Greenwich Fabric Collection by PearsonLloyd was chosen, providing a broad palette of eight colours.
RIYA chair is being presented for the first time by Bene.
