Bea by Luxy is a new concept in seating.
Instead of articulating all ergonomic technology by exposing an exo-skeleton, like much of recent office seating solutions, Bea incorporates all in its flexible and sensual shell.
In its loaded version, it includes the strictest ergonomic and safety standards (EN, ANSI-BIFMA), while in its non-work versions it becomes a residential lounge chair.
An internal frame in Zytel@ 80G33 is covered with double layer of reinforced Pebax@, using the same technology and materials utilized to make athletic footwear. Housed in its task intensive model is a BeaRevo synchron mechanism with push & click controls, armrests are adjustable in height and inclination, lumbar adjustment, and forward seat slider. Upholstered in flame-retardant anti-transpiration fabrics.
