Cobi seating. Designed specifically to foster collaboration and promote movement.

Part of our new category of collaborative seating, the cobi chair was designed specifically to foster collaboration and was based on three key insights:

• Chairs should promote movement and be comfortable for long periods of time
• Adjustments should be automatic and intuitive
• Chairs should support multiple postures

Features

We created a whole new category of seating products designed specifically for the needs of collaboration. The cobi chair was designed specifically to foster collaboration and was based on three key research observations that resulted in three key insights:

Observations:

• Collaboration takes time.
• People don't adjust their chairs in collaborative settings.
• People change postures frequently when collaborating.

Insights:

• Chairs should promote movement and be comfortable for long periods of time.
• Adjustments should be automatic and intuitive.
• Chairs should support multiple postures. The cobi chair encourages movement and supports a variety of postures.

The cobi chair encourages movement and supports a variety of postures. With only one adjustment (seat height), and a mechanism that’s weight activated and senses and supports your own center of gravity, anyone can get comfortable quickly.

a)  Flexing top edge: Allows users to rest their arm on top of the chair, supporting a variety of postures.
b)  Flexing back: Provides comfort and support, while contouring to any posture the body needs.
c)  Flexing seat: Encourages users to move and shift, allowing users to sit centered or off to the sides.
d)  Weight-activated mechanism: Sensing your center of gravity, it adjusts to the position that puts the least amount of stress on your body, still keeping you properly supported.
e)  Seat height: Accommodates different heights and leg lengths. To raise chair, lift body weight up and pull lever up. To lower chair, remain seated and pull lever up.

In addition to the features above, the cobi chair has a range of options:

• Stool version available (with and without arms)
• Armless chair available
• Four finish colors are available: black, near black, platinum & arctic white
• Optional sewn seat cushion to accommodate various fabric, leather & vinyl options
• Seat is available with Steelcase and Designtex fabric, leather, or vinyl as well as COM’s
• Connect 3D material is standard on the chair back with matching Cogent: Connect seat, or with a seat upholstery of your choice
