Contact mechanism
ORION a mechanism that allows you to choose the desired angle of the backrest and to lock it in several positions. One of the most important features of the mechanism is that the seat and backrest are not connected. When the backrest moves, the seat remains fixed.
Our experts recommend that chairs with a contact mechanism should be chosen for people who usually prefer a fixed sitting position when sitting and appreciate a greater angle between the legs and the torso when reclined.
The firmness of the chair’s oscillation can be adjusted individually according to the weight of the sitter. Executive chair ORION with pneumatic lift easily rises or lowers to the desired seating height. Manager chair ORION with contact mechanism recommends for sitting for more than 8 hours.
CONTACT MECHANISM
Arm support
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.
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.
ORION is an excellent ergonomic solution. If you have any questions about how to adjust your ergonomic chair, please read the advice from the Chair Centre or contact our consultants.
ARM SUPPORT
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. ORION 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. Before buying a chair with a headrest, we recommend to make sure that the Executive desk chair ORION 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.

Chair covered in natural leather
This chair is covered in natural leather. The natural leather gives the chair a luxurious look and is perfect around classic-style or executive furniture. The softness of natural leather gives a pleasant seating experience.
Natural leather is available in several colours, so you can easily match the chair to the surrounding furniture. Leather is an extremely durable and long-lasting material, resistant to scratches, tears or abrasion, making it a great investment if the chair will be used a lot and for a long time.
It is worth noting that sitting in chairs with leather or eco leather surfaces may cause the occupant to perspire. Before purchasing this office chair, it should be assessed whether the work area will be cooled in summer.
NATURAL LEATHER
Classically shaped backrest
Ergonomic executive chair ORION has a classically shaped backrest. This type of backrest provides comfortable back support for people of all heights and body shapes. 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 ORION 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 swivel chair ORION 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.

Height-adjustable table
Our specialists recommends taking breaks during work based on medical research. Taking a 15-minute break every 45 minutes to move around. Prolonged sitting in one fixed position increases the likelihood of chronic pain and cardiovascular disease. We recommend combining seated work with standing work, together at a height-adjustable table! Learn more
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.
