Karman
Sit back and let physics do its job. With a proprietary performance textile and impossibly light frame, Steelcase Karman™ goes beyond leading mesh office & desk chairs to provide effortless comfort and ergonomic support.
Karman is the amalgam of all our learning and legacy –
there’s DNA of every single one of our chairs built into it.
It’s the evolution of everything we know about seating and the way people work.
MARK SPOELHOF, STEELCASE GLOBAL DESIGN DIRECTOR
Steelcase Karman provides long-term comfort through three distinct features: a patented hybrid seat with integrated cushioning that moves with you, comfort edges around the seat and back and our proprietary performance textile, Intermix.
LiveBack® Technology.
Balances body weight, supporting your back and spine while providing responsive, personalized comfort and fit.
Patented hybrid seat.
The suspension seat with integrated cushioning provides maximum comfort for as long as you sit.
Comfort edge.
The ultra-light frame flexes to eliminate hard edges and pressure points on your legs and body.
BEYOND MESH
Intermix is a proprietary performance textile that is exclusive for Steelcase Karman, and central to its performance, comfort, and aesthetic. The exclusive weave creates a selection of translucent, opaque, and all-new color shifting textiles.
Sit back and let physics do its job. With a proprietary performance textile and an impossibly light frame, Karman goes beyond leading mesh office chairs to provide effortless comfort by naturally responding to your body’s movement.
Steelcase Karman’s industry-leading color range, with 13 proprietary Intermix colors and Lux finishes, make infinite aesthetic options possible.
Provocative color-shift,
is the dynamic finish that visually changes with light and viewing angle.
Smart-fit
With people today being more likely to shift between tasks and locations throughout the day, requiring a next generation chair that is incredibly responsive, intuitive and versatile. Enter Karman,
a chair that is so smart
you only needs one touch point to perfect the fit.
4D arms.
Fully adjustable armrests raise up and down, pivot in and out and shift in all directions, letting your arms and shoulders fall naturally into place.
Comfort dial.
The comfort dial supports four recline positions, letting you dial in the right level of resistance against your back as you recline.
SUSTAINABILITY
Responsible design is integral to the Steelcase design team so Steelcase Karman was designed with the planet and the future in mind. Steelcase Karman not only uses sustainable materials, it’s also comprised of the least number of components necessary.
BEYOND CONVENTION
Karman's design approach uses physics to create responsive movement, this is why the team was able to design the leading model at a weight of only
13KG
less than many leading mesh chairs. And yet the engineering of Steelcase Karman makes it incredibly strong.
