Sporty ergonomic office swivel chair
Configurator
Range 184 IN - Design: Wilkhahn
IN teaches seating to walk! The patented Trimension® kinematics provide maximum three-dimensional seating dynamics with two independently moving swivel arms, two ball joints at hip level and two thrust joints at the knee axis. This technology mirrors the fluid motion of walking without causing fatigue.
Psychologists, physiotherapists and orthopaedists all agree that physical activity’s vital if we want to stay fit and healthy. But it’s the whole of our body that’s important and not just our backs and joints. Getting enough exercise helps us manage stress, feel happier and be more productive. And productivity is a top priority for corporate healthcare programmes. Wilkhahn has devoted decades to making people less desk-bound.
- Activation of the entire organism from the ankles to the cervical spine prevents musculoskeletal disorders, stimulates metabolism and increases performance.
- The synergy of direct transmission, torsionally flexible high-tech seat back element and back covering made of 3D-Formstrick (form-fit knit) creates remarkable dynamics and unparalleled seating comfort.
- Even the smallest shifts in weight lead to fluid changes in posture that are perceived as highly natural and comfortable. The interaction between user and chair is completely intuitive, making mobility a frequently used and versatile characteristic of use.
- The ingeniously simple implementation of Trimension® kinematics provides a dynamic appearance. In addition to the impeccable quality of workmanship and the high-quality surface and material properties, which meet the highest standards, we guarantee their indestructibility and therefore generally provide a warranty of at least 5 years."
New look: IN with new shape knit
The new “ReForm” shape knit, available in ten colors, gives IN a highly attractive and sustainable “face-lift”. Thanks to the two-tone yarns made from 100% recycled polyester, one or the other color comes to the fore depending on the knitting pattern. The different color zones further emphasize the sporty character of the swivel chair.

Technical details
Function
An office task chair with Trimension®, integrated synchronously supporting 3D kinematics which allows the right-hand and left-hand half of the chair to be tilted in any direction via two flexible swing swivel arms. The goal is to encourage the natural range of motion the pelvis is capable of which includes flexing, extending and moving it sideways to rotating it. The combination of the 3D synchronous adjustment mechanism with a highly elastic seat and back guarantees the chair adapts automatically to any movement made or posture adopted by the person sitting on it. As a result, the body is supported in any position and maintains its center of gravity. The counter pressure, which provides support in any direction moved in, is precision adjustable for people weighing from 45 to 140 kg by changing the elasticity. The backrest has optional, height-adjustable lumbar support (in six lockable positions of up to 60 mm). The backrest and seat can locked in a neutral sitting position, the 3D forward tilt of 5° can be activated at the touch of a button in order to harness the maximum range of motion. The seating height can be precisely adjusted at the touch of a button between 400 mm and 520 mm with a DIN 4550-compliant gas lift. Seat depth: 430 mm, optionally with seat depth that can be adjusted while sitting down in 4 lockable positions of 400 to 450 mm. (The height of the elevated seating position (ESP) models is precision adjustable from between 460 mm and 640 mm and the counter chairs between 650 mm and 780 mm).
