Ara mesh chair
Great design is when there’s nothing left to take away. Ara is a chair of refined performance, comfort and support that redefines our perspective on sustainability. Ara is the first task chair developed and manufactured in Europe to achieve Cradle to Cradle accreditation. The character and performance are defined by the design of the chair’s adaptive elastomer membrane, the rigid outer frame supports the membrane with a posturally correct ‘S’ shape and its flexibility allows it to adjust automatically to the profile of your back. Ara’s synchronous mechanism delivers a smooth, balanced movement from impressively refined engineering, the elastomer membrane remains active even with a fully upholstered back due to the design of the foam’s internal structure.

Using your Ara
Each arm pad is height adjustable by pressing the button on the outside of the armrest and sliding up and down into the desired position. If possible, your forearms should be supported at 90° to your upper arms with your shoulders relaxed.
Multi-adjustable arms
Height: Arm pad is height adjustable by pressing the button on the outside of the armrest and sliding up or down into the desired position. If possible, your forearms should be supported at 90° to your upper arms with your shoulders relaxed.
Seat slide control
The seat slide control is situated on the right hand side of the seat, toward the front of the chair. It is adjusted back or forward by pressing the button in whilst sliding the seat into the desired position. If possible, there should be at least two fingers gap between the front of the seat and the back of your knees. This will ensure adequate thigh support but without obstructing leg movement and lower leg circulation.
Body weight control
The recline resistance when the chair back is unlocked can be adjusted to suit your body weight by turning
the knob on the right hand side of the seat. Turn clockwise to increase resistance and anti-clockwise to
decrease resistance. The ‘tension’ should be set so that you are able to recline gently in a controlled manner
but without having to push uncomfortably hard.
