Zody

Science-based wellness and comfort integrated into a mid-priced chair with
international style. Zody’s innovative patent-pending asymmetrical lumbar adjustment,
4-D arms, and its optional gel-foam seats provide users with maximum support in a new
way.

DESIGN POINTS

• Designed by ITO Design, in conjunction with Haworth’s Design Studio.
• International style, with design elements from both North America and Europe.
• Designed to complement, not dominate, a space.
• Patents are pending to cover 16 inventions in the chair.
• Range adjustments that can accommodate up to 95% of the world’s population.
• Meets all new North American ergonomic standards.
• 3 years of research and development (seat pan comfort studies, pelvic support/back
  flex evaluations).
• Unique 4-D arms provide a four-way adjustment level for enhanced support.
• Gel seat with Technogel gel insert reduces the pressure in the ischial area and also
  reduces the muscle activity in the back, minimizing fatigue and increasing back comfort.
  

SUSTAINABILITY

• Cradle-to-Cradle Certification by McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry (MBDC) in
  process.
• Up to 50% recycled content & up to 98% recyclable. PVC-free, Chrome-free, CFC-free.
• Assembled with 100% Green-e wind-power: preventing over 1.4 million lbs. of carbon
  dioxide from bring emitted into the atmosphere in the first 2 years. This is equivalent of
  taking 124 cars off the road. It would take 194 acres of trees to absorb this much CO2.
• Greenguard Certification
• Contributes to LEED points.
