Orangebox - Kirn Mesh Back Task Counter Height Draughtsman Armchair with Upholstered Seat

Kirn is designed to use as few materials and resources as possible and with recycled materials wherever feasible. Kirn produces 97% less CO2 in its processing than virgin plastics.

Natural resources are declining at an untenable rate, with virgin materials using the greatest levels of energy and water, from initial extraction to refining and industrial processing.  The radical rethink required starts with the stuff we use every day. At Orangebox, our aim is to minimise the materials and energy used in the creation of our products, and to design them to have the longest life possible. Kirn is primarily made from 100% recycled polymer feedstock, a durable, high quality material that produces 97% less CO2 in its processing than virgin plastics of the same type.

Kirn’s personality is expressed most clearly in its strong visual and material lightness, the result of rethinking the traditional task chair mechanism and developing a fully weight-balancing solution integrated into the framework of the chair.  This not only delivers a great sitting experience, it’s also enabled us to develop our first fully mesh task chair, featuring a more open, light-touch architecture

Shared use seating is becoming the norm in our more collaborative workspaces, which is why we’ve designed and engineered Kirn to be highly intuitive to operate and super comfortable to sit in – for every user. Kirn’s open technical mesh provides a refined and subtle balance between support and comfort, including enhanced heat dissipation. The soft touch fibres have been engineered to provide continuous, hard-wearing three-dimensional support for petite users, heavy users and everyone in between. Unlike traditional PU foam cushions, these lightweight materials are easily recycled at end of life.

As the health benefits of being more agile and adopting multiple sitting positions while working is increasing, sit-stand work surfaces are becoming more common, placing new demands on task chairs. Kirn has been designed to offer an increased seat height range, suitable for worksurface heights ranging from 615mm to 785mm.
