Formway Life Chair

Formway wanted to develop the world’s best task chair and was prepared to research the ergonomics behind good sedentary support to achieve this.  Development of a new task chair for the world furniture market needed to feature more than superior ergonomics, it had to be aesthetically compelling , be environmentally responsible and launched in a time frame that would capitalise on the advances made with the new design. Recognising that some furniture development is evolutionary rather than revolutionary Formway knew it could have a bigger impact if its ideas were developed to hit the market fast.  By setting up a core team to carry the design intent through the project, additional skills could be brought in to accelerate certain areas of the development. Exactus was contracted to manage specific parts of the Life Chair project that included concept and detail design. Exactus helped manage the peak workloads and provided additional skills and knowledge to enhance the process. By assigning up to four Exactus Staff to the Life Project, Formway was able to run other strategic design projects concurrently. During its launch at NeoCon 2002, the Life chair won the prestigious “Best of Neocon” Gold Award and it still remains a popular choice in the task chair market today.
