Recline activation sits on both arms. The arms are completely open with steel and urethane arm pads, and the frame is titanium powder-coated aluminum.
Specifications
Width 33 in, depth 28.5 in, height 50.5 in.
Story
Ergonomics from the work chair
Nala Patient Chair carries features found in Herman Miller's award-winning work chairs into a chair that is durable, comfortable and easy to clean. Gianfranco Zaccai designed it around the way the body moves, with ergonomic principles and innovative technologies.
Tilt that follows the sitter
With Harmonic Tilt, the back and seat open up as the sitter reclines and tilt around the body's natural pivot points, within a 24 degree range. The recline lever is on both armrests, so the recline can be activated from either side.
