Description
Overview
MultiGeneration by Knoll Light Task uses a flexible perforated shell, open sides and a swivel base to support changing postures. Knoll dates this product to 2016.
Movement
Passive flex and an open design allow 270-degree sitting. The rolled top edge can serve as a side-sitting armrest or carrying handle.
Dimensions
The armed version is 25.6 in W × 21.9 in D × 37.5 in H at maximum adjustment.
The optional pad raises the published seat height by 0.3 inch.
Story
Fidgeting as a design premise
Formway’s product story begins from the observation that small movements can help people remain engaged. MultiGeneration translates that premise into a buoyant shell that avoids fixing the sitter in one orientation.
Light-task variation
The height-adjustable swivel version combines the family’s perforated back and open sides with task-chair mobility. Its optional pad and separate armed or armless widths allow the basic shell to support different specifications.
