Performance
A tilt is to a chair what a transmission is to a car, and like
transmissions, some are manual, and others, such as Cosm’s,
are automatic. With other self-adjusting models, the chair forces
the body to conform to the tilt’s movement. Cosm’s Auto-Harmonic
Tilt puts the person first and responds to them – no matter their
posture – providing a balanced recline and personalised comfort.
Studio 7.5 and Herman Miller perfected the self-adjusting tilt by
inventing and engineering a complex, finely tuned mechanism.
Accounting for the sitter’s vertical force, the gears within the tilt
move the fulcrum along a leaf spring to automatically adjust
the tilt’s tension.
“ You should have a chair that allows you to change postures as easily as possible,”
the designers say. “You can only do that with a chair that is correctly adjusted,
so we wanted to build a chair that does that part for you.”
The continuous contour of the chair’s
Intercept Suspension envelops each
person’s individual form, delivering
dynamic, uninterrupted support. It clips
into the thin but strong frame, which feels
nearly non-existent and offers support
while flexing so you can comfortably
move your upper body.
