Graph
Description
The Graph conference chair is elegant, well proportioned and ground breaking. An experience to appeal to all the senses which is set to endure. Whether in prestigious conference areas, exclusive clubs, or home dining rooms.
Graph is a new range of conference chairs for more superior requirements. At the design's core is a seat shell that can be divided and put back together differently, with the armrests becoming the main link between the seat and the backrest. The shape of the shell is well-proportioned, with the open section at the back and armrests conveying a sense of lightness and elegance.
Key Features
and/or Benefits
The design's concept was cutting through a seat shell horizontally and vertically and then reassemble it, that the shell section in the crossover point between the seat and back is unnecessary. This stroke of genius, drawn from deconstructivism, led to a seating body in several parts that appears lightweight and whose contours still convey a homogeneous, unitary seat shell. The armrests became as an open frame the central connecting nodes between seat and backrest shell. At the same time, a modular product structure emerged, making further models easy to create. Different backrest heights and a variety of covers are possible.
Equally ingenious is the idea of flexibly resting the seating body on three points. Similar to an engine block, the front is placed with strong, permanently elastic connectors on a Y-shaped bearer and the back is borne by a central leaf spring. This generates three-dimensional elasticity in the bearer - total innovation in a swivel chair of this kind. The upholstery is also sophisticated: steel frames with wave springs are used. They are fully padded and fine foam upholstery is added. The luxurious upholstery, combined with the three-dimensional suspension, makes Graph an outstanding conference chair when it comes to comfort.
Premium quality high-end seating. The modelled armrests, are also pleasant in terms of haptics. And the engineers developed a concealed, force- and form-fit connector to ensure that no screws were visible - even on closer look. The surfaces have also been treated with the utmost care: the aluminium components have been exquisitely polished and are optionally available in a natural or bright chromium-plated finish. Only particularly high-quality fabrics from the fabric collection or leather are used for the covers. The precise seams, with surrounding cushioning, underscore the slim, clear contour, while the horizontal stitched seam divides up the backrest.
Four-star die-cast aluminium base, chromium plated or polished with glides for all flooring provides excellent stability. The column that can be swivelled with Y-shaped, aluminium seat bearer to facilitate user support in all positions. Premium quality cushioning and upholstery results in superior comfort whilst at the same time the organic profile and concealed fixings mean there is no possibility of any harm to users.
Graph is certified with the GS-Mark which stands for 'tested security' and often translated as German security. ANSI/BIFMA-Standard testing is under progress, certification is expected end of March. AFRDI platinum certification is currently being sought.
Durability is Graph's number one priority. The iconographic form has what it takes for the chair to become a classic. The combination of sophisticated upholstery and innovative flexibility guarantees consistently superb comfort. The chair's materials and craftsmanship are designed to last and last. The materials comply with Wilkhahn's product development requirements. The durability of the high-quality materials, the innovative comfort and the clear, distinct design ensure the chair can be used for decades. Long market presence, offerings to overhaul products and excellent durability are key aspects of Wilkhahn's product philosophy all applied and considered in Graphs design process.
