cobi Overview

cobi seating was designed to foster collaboration and promote movement.

Part of our new category of collaborative seating, the cobi chair was designed specifically to foster collaboration and was based on three key insights:

  1. Chairs should promote movement and be comfortable for long periods of time
  2. Adjustments should be automatic and intuitive
  3. Chairs should support multiple postures

  • The weight-activated mechanism senses your center of gravity and adjusts to the position that will put the least amount of stress on your body, while still keeping you properly oriented and supported.
  • Seat height accommodates different heights and leg lengths.

In addition to the features above, the cobi chair has a range of options:

  • Stool version available
  • Armless chair and stool available
  • Finish color options: black, near black, platinum & arctic white
