SKYE Desk/Task Chair Features and Ergonomic User Benefit Summary:
  • Skye is fully compliant with BIFMA Ergonomic Guideline (with optional telescoping cylinder for seat height, seat width, seat depth, lumbar height, lumbar depth, arm rest height, seat pan angle, back rest width, arm rest length and width between arms) and ISO Ergonomic Guideline to fit an extensive range of body sizes, shapes, and weights (fit for 5th percentile female through 95th percentile male body dimensions and beyond).
  • Skye's synchro-tilt motion, and seat and back movements mirror the movement of the human body when reclining. The line of sight stays constant through generous range of reclination thus avoiding neck, eye, and shoulder strains. The feet stay on floor while reclining thus avoiding undue pressure under thighs and behind knees.
  • Skye's easy tension adjustment provides different levels of resistance while reclining in order to accommodate for different sizes and weights of users and user preferences.
  • Skye's seat depth adjustment fits an extensive range of body sizes, accommodates leg support preferences and prevents undue pressure behind knees, as well as discouraging involuntary slouching and allowing for proper back contact and support.
  • Skye's lumbar height and depth adjustment allow the backrest to conform to the individual shape of the user's back.
  • Skye's arm width, height, and rotational adjustment supports the arms and minimizes neck and shoulder strains.
  • Skye's pneumatic seat height adjustment allows easy fit to user's size and preferences.
  • Skye's back lock option accommodates user preferences.
  • Skye's forward seat tilt option accommodates user preferences.
SKYE Side Chair Features:
  • Sled base frame with black webbing or pillow back (leather pillow back results in standard leather arm caps when model with arms is selected)
  • Same visual character as desk chair.

The chairs are constructed with highly tooled precision parts. The main components are superior aluminum parts and engineering polymer parts for outstanding fit, visuals, performance, and overall quality.

SKYE Quality and the Environment
  • The human being is always at the center of our development efforts. The quality management system, ISO 9001 is the basis of our commitment to quality assurance.
  • For lack of formal American environmental certification, our commitment to the environment is based on the two European environmental management systems pursuant to the ecological audit regulation of the European Community and DIN-EN ISO 14.000 pp. But that is not all?Responsibility for the environment plays a major role in our company, from the initial idea to the finished product.
SKYE Facts
  • Ergonomic seal of approval
    An ergonomic seal of approval does not exist in the United States. It should be noted that Skye has received an ergonomic seal of approval, granted by foremost ergonomists, in Europe.
  • Patent registrations
    SKYE has been granted three functional/utility patents for innovative aspects of the chair. Additionally, there are ornamental design patents pending. One of the patents applies to the motion sequence which combines the seat opening angle of 42 degrees and the seating area that lowers and tilts itself synchronously. The other patent covers the four-step automatic control mechanism which allows a user-friendly adjustment of the chair to the individual body proportions of different users. Skye is a new and forward-looking generation of chairs.
