AC 5 Studio is the reductive, informal model of the AC 5 Group of office chairs. Equipped with functions suited for its intended applications – a rocking mechanism and a height adjustment feature – AC 5 Studio provides a comfortable seating solution for touchdown workstations occupied by changing users. Its characteristic angled backrest is not just a unifying visual element shared by all chairs of the AC 5 Group; thanks to its shape, the flexible backrest structure also offers considerable freedom of movement and promotes dynamic sitting.
