Freedom of movement. Today’s workplace must accommodate many generations—Baby
Boomers, Generation X and Generation Y—and their different work styles and office habits.
With the evolution from strictly focused, task-oriented settings to more informal gatherings,
there’s a premium placed on spaces where people can shift easily from activity to activity.
Generation by Knoll promotes interaction and collaboration which are increasingly at the core
of dynamic organizations, requiring furniture that is both agile and flexible.
A chair for a new generation of work.
Generation by Knoll moves as you move.
The Generation by Knoll chair is the result of Formway Design’s research into how people sit
throughout the day. Their research, based on insights gathered on the contemporary workplace,
revealed that sitting reflects a breadth of positions. Sitting upright and facing forward is just one of
the many things that people do in their office chair. Recognizing that the basic assumption about
office seating—that there is one optimal way to sit—was flawed, Formway and Knoll joined forces to
create a chair that moves as you move. Generation doesn’t force you to choose between freedom
of movement and continuous support, but, instead, provides both, simultaneously.
