Maarten Van Severen's .04 office chair is distinctly different in appearance from typical task chairs used in institutional settings. At the same time, it offers advantageous ergonomic features: the flexible polyurethane shell of the .04 office chair has a comfortable sitting surface and pleasantly pliant back. Its rocking mechanism provides a smooth transition from the working to the resting position and allows moderate lateral movement. With its unobtrusive design, the .04 task chair is ideally suited to the home office.
