Synchronous mechanism
One of the main advantages of the mechanism is that the seat and backrest are not connected. When the backrest moves, the seat moves in the same direction in a certain ratio (usually 2:1 or 3:1). This gives a more pleasant sitting sensation and reduces the load on the back muscles. The chair's synchronous control mechanism allows to lock the tilt angle to the desired sitting position.
As the chair swings freely, the synchronous mechanism actively maintains an optimal and ergonomic seating angle. The firmness of the chair's oscillation can be adjusted individually according to the weight of the sitter. Executive chair ALUMEDIC 20 H with pneumatic lift easily raises or lowers to the desired sitting
height. The Manager chair ALUMEDIC 20 H with synchronous mechanism is recommended
SYNCHRONOUS MECHANISM
Dondola mechanism
Executive desk chair ALUMEDIC 20 H is equipped with the unique Dondola ® active seating technology intergrated in the seat, giving the office chair more dynamism. Two steel plates interlocked in the centre of the office chair with a flexible joint create a 3D seating effect, as the office chair replicates every slight movement user makes in all directions. The seat moves forward, backwards and sideways with the body, adapting to the body’s movements. This makes for a very comfortable seating experience, as the back muscles are not strained – sitting in this chair relaxes the intervertebral discs in the spine, which improves blood circulation.
The Dondola ® active seating mechanism, which has been approved by medical research, provides three-directional movement when sitting, allowing active sitting throughout the entire sitting time, strengthening and protecting the back muscles from pain. Studies have confirmed that more than 84% of those who tested the Dondola® chair felt more active while sitting and 56% experienced a reduction in back pain.
Although the benefits of Dondola® have been proven by medical studies, some clients find the dynamic mechanism uncomfortable and unstable. If you are unsure whether Dondola® is really for you, we recommend to contact our consultants or try out a chair with the Dondola® mechanism in person in our showroom.
ALUMEDIC 20 H is also recommended by our partner HEALTHY BACK SCHOOL.

Seat depth adjustment
ALUMEDIC 20 H has a seat depth adjustment function. This is particularly important for taller or shorter people. Additionally, this function is particularly useful when the chair is used by more than one person. This allows each user to adjust the chairs seat depth to their own individual requirements.
The correct seat depth helps to maintain correct back posture and improve well-being when sitting, the key is to know how to choose the correct chair depth. When sitting in a chair, there should be a gap of 4-8 cm between the legs and the front of the seat. The person’s feet should be at a right angle of 90° to the floor. If you have any questions about how to adjust your ergonomic chair, please contact our consultants.

Ergonomic executive chair ALUMEDIC 20 H with 2D armrests
The armrests of this chair provide support for the arms. This reduces tension on the arms, shoulders, neck and hand muscles. This is particularly important when sitting for long periods of time. When work is finished, the armrests can be used as a support when standing up, thus reducing the strain on the pelvic muscles.
The armrests can be raised or lowered to the desired position with the push of a button. If the armrests are locked too high or too low, they may interfere with your body movements and cause discomfort.
It is recommended to choose an armrest position that allows the arms to be bent at about 90° while sitting at the desk, with the shoulder blades naturally relaxed and in a straight horizontal line. It is important to ensure that when sitting in a chair, the legs of the person should be at a straight 90° angle to the floor.
ALUMEDIC 20 H is an excellent ergonomic solution. If you have any questions about how to adjust your ergonomic chair, please contact our consultants.
ARMREST HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Adjustable headrest
People who spend a lot of time working at a computer often eventually start to feel fatigue in their shoulder and neck muscles, leading to discomfort and muscle tension. ALUMEDIC 20 H headrest helps relieve some of the tension and pain by providing support for the neck and upper back.
The headrest can also improve your posture. When the head is unsupported, people automatically lean forward when working at a computer, creating pressure in the neck. Sitting in not optimal position for prolonged periods of time can lead to long-term spinal problems.
A headrest provides comfort, makes the user feel better and more productive while working, and increases the likelihood of maintaining the correct posture while sitting. The headrest is adjustable in height and depth, so everyone can find the most comfortable seating position for their height. Before buying a chair with a headrest, we recommend to make sure that the Executive swivel chair ALUMEDIC 20 H will provide the user with comfortable support and that seating experience will feel comfortable. We recommend visiting our showroom and trying this chair model in person.

Tapestry seat and backrest
This ALUMEDIC 20 H is covered with tapestry fabric. This type of fabric is particularly popular because it is soft and pleasant to the touch and comes in a wide range of colours. The tapestry chairs are very easy to match with the surrounding furniture and decor.
Tapestry is a relatively durable and long-lasting material, so the chair can be used comfortably for many years.
It is worth mentioning that chairs covered in mesh or tapestry sometimes can become a favorite place for cats to scratch their claws. Therefore, before buying an office chair ALUMEDIC 20 H, consider your pet’s taste as well. If this may be a problem, we suggest you contact the specialists at the Chair Center to find the right solution for you.
Classically shaped backrest

For some customers ergonomically shaped backrests are not comfortable and sometimes cause discomfort. Classically shaped backrests are more likely to make it easier to find a comfortable sitting position. It is worth noting that the shape of the backrest is a very personal choice. If more than one person will be using this ALUMEDIC 20 H chair, or if you are not sure which back shape would suit you best, we recommend that you try it out live in our showroom.
11 mm castors (for soft floors)
Executive desk chair ALUMEDIC 20 H is with castors for soft flooring. If the chair is used on hard flooring (wooden flooring, parquet, laminate), the surface may be damaged or scratched over time. Our specialists recommend that you purchase additional castors for hard flooring. Wheel axle 11 mm. The castors are made of thermoplastic elastomer, sometimes called thermoplastic rubber, which is a physical mixture of polymers consisting of materials with both thermoplastic and elastomeric properties. These wheels are softer and do not scratch hard flooring.
We recommend purchasing a plastic mat under the chair to protect the more sensitive floor covering. If a stable, fixed seating position is desired, we recommend chair feet instead of castors. When choosing chair castors, it is very important to pay attention to the type of use and the floor covering, if you are not sure we recommend you contact our consultants or visit our showroom.

Chair feet
When you buy an office chair, we often get questions about whether the castors can be replaced with feet. Of course! An office chair with feet is stable and its functionality remains unchanged. This is especially true for workplaces where there is a small, limited working area and stability is needed: shops, warehouses and production companies. People with disabilities or elderly customers often ask for chairs with feet. Learn more.
