The Haworth Zody task chair is known for its class leading ergonomic features and sleek design. Comparable to the Steelcase Leap Chair and the Herman Miller Aeron, The Haworth Zody boasts a slew of awards ranging from Best of Neocon, to Ergonomic Excellence and more. Its full gambit of functions include: adjustable lumbar support (more on this later), tilt tension, pelvic support (works in conjunction with the lumbar to support side to side movements), seat pan width (relieves pressure points from the user’s hips), backstop (locks chair’s back in position), forward tilt adjustment (allows user to adjust posture throughout the day), waterfall front edge (relieves pressure points on knees and thighs), fully adjustable arms and more. The mesh back is designed to mimic the user’s movements to allow for superior back support and comfort.
The major feature of the Haworth Zody that separates it from other task chairs is its fully adjustable lumbar support. Referred to by Haworth as the PALTM system, the back support provided by the Zody has given it the distinction as the only chair to be backed by the American Physical Therapy Association.
The Zody is also the first chair to be certified Cradle to Cradle™ Gold by MBDC. In order to receive this certification the MBDC states “There are five categories of criteria for certification which were designed to align with the Cradle to Cradle principles: Material Health, Material Reutilization, Renewable Energy Use, Water Stewardship, and Social Responsibility. In order to achieve certification at a certain level, the product and manufacturing processes must meet the criteria at that level in all five categories.”
The Haworth Zody task chair is the perfect chair for any office environment. Its superior ergonomic abilities make this chair stand-alone for user’s health and its recyclability has no comparison. EthoSource has a large inventory of Haworth Zody chairs available at a fraction of the price of new.
