ME

Modular ergonomic office swivel chair

Configurator

Range 164 ME - Design: Wilkhahn

Thanks to its modular design principle, it meets all customer requirements and international certification standards. With its exceptionally large adjustment ranges, ME is also suitable for users who are especially small or large. This makes ME one of the few chairs on the market that, with the appropriate configuration, can meet the very strict new European standard EN 1335 type AX. 

The intuitive operation and ease of use make it simple to adjust the desired settings. With the patented ProgressiveMotion module, the ME swivel chair automatically leads to multidimensional movements, promoting comfort and well-being. The design concept combines the backrest and seat into a single unit, whose contours appear harmonious from every perspective. Clear edges merge into soft surfaces. This contrast creates exciting surfaces and an attractive appearance with high recognition value.
 

  • Motion: The patented ProgressiveMotion module ensures outstanding ergonomics and an incomparably comfortable user experience.
  • Wide range of configurations: Thanks to the modular design concept, ME can be perfectly adapted to any tender or customer requirement.
  • Design: Integrative design, well thought-out down to the smallest detail - for an attractive appearance with high recognition value.
  • Intuitive handling: Intuitive operation and simple handling allow the desired settings to be made effortlessly.
  • Sustainability: ME meets strict sustainability requirements and international certification standards.
