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. Office chair NORA UP with pneumatic lift easily raises or lowers to the desired sitting
height. The Task chair NORA UP with synchronous mechanism is recommended
SYNCHRONOUS MECHANISM
Seat depth adjustment
NORA UP 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.

Tapestry seat and backrest
This NORA UP 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 NORA UP, 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.
Adjustable backrest height
NORA UP has a height-adjustable backrest. Often the backrests are slightly curved to replicate the curve of the spine. The height of the backrest of the chair allows to adjust so that the lumbar region of the body is comfortably supported and there is no discomfort.
Height adjustment allows the backrest to be adapted to different people of different heights and body shapes. The adjustable backrest height is a great feature for chairs that will be used by more than one person or for tall/low people. For more information on how to adjust your chair correctly, read our blog or contact our consultants.
BACKREST HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Classically shaped backrest
Desk chair NORA UP 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 NORA UP 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.
10 mm castors (for hard floors)
Ergonomic chair NORA UP is available with wheels for hard flooring (wooden flooring, parquet, laminate). Castor axle 10 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.
If you prefer a stable sitting position on this work chair, you can also purchase optional 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.
