    MultiGeneration by Knoll® High Task is a simple, small-scale high task chair with a responsive, open design that allows you to fidget to focus. It encourages natural movement, allowing us to focus, interact and collaborate more effectively.

    Product story

    “We fidget to focus.” This, according to Formway Senior designer, was the central thesis that informed MultiGeneration by Knoll®. Contrary to popular assumption, foot-tapping, pen-twirling and position-shifting actually help people stay engaged.

    Therefore, each member of the MultiGeneration by Knoll family, which has continued to grow over the last 5 years, is designed to allow for and encourage movement, while still providing adequate support. The shape and material of the shell give the chairs a buoyancy that prevents the user from feeling “locked in” while the arm and leg positions allow for 270 degrees of movement.

    The MultiGeneration family offerns side chairs, light task chairs, high task chairs and stools, each with the consideration and ergonomics of a standalone seating solution.
