Product Breakdown: Think by Steelcase

Think is a task chair with a brain and a conscience. It’s intelligent enough to understand how you sit, and adjusts itself accordingly and intuitively. Extensive research and pressure map testing helped Steelcase to design back flexors that provide dynamic, continuous support. The Integrated LiveBack System conforms to your body, fluidly mimicking your spine and moving with you as you change postures. A weight-activated mechanism recognizes your weight, while a comfort dial allows you to adjust the amount of back tension and recline. Think is also thoughtful enough to measure and minimize its impact on the environment, due to its ease of disassembly and recycling. Here’s how it all breaks down:
