Italian Keel Office Chair
Although Italy is not the birthplace of the Keel Office Chair, there is a well-known office chair named 'Keel Chair'. The following is an introduction from the aspects of design, technology, production, and honors:
Design Inspiration and Concept: The design inspiration for the Keel Chair comes from surgical forceps. Designer Zooey aimed to transform the flexible and mobile characteristics of surgical forceps into a 'spinal structure' that can fully and automatically conform to the human back, providing excellent back support for users. This innovative design breaks the fixed pattern of traditional office chairs, better aligns with ergonomic principles, and meets the needs of the human body for seating in different usage scenarios.
Core Technological Features: The chair is centered around RBT (Automatic Sensing Technology), achieving significant breakthroughs in both visual and technological aspects. It features a spinal-like design with movable sections, composed of seven independent scales. Each scale can independently and in real-time conform to the user's lower back, providing the most humanized support whether the user is reading, working, conversing, or completely relaxing, effectively reducing back pressure and enhancing comfort.
Production and Market: The Keel Chair is produced by Dongguan Boyi Furniture Co., Ltd. (B.one Boyi). This company was the first in China to invest tens of millions in creating this 'fantastic office chair', demonstrating its emphasis on the product and market confidence.
Honors and Achievements: The Keel Chair has received widespread recognition and numerous honors in the market. In 2011, it passed the US BFIMA test, proving its quality and safety meet international standards; in 2012, it was awarded structural invention patents in China, Japan, South Korea, and the United States, reflecting its innovation and uniqueness; in 2013, it was selected as one of the top ten famous chairs globally by the US magazine 'Healthy Men'; in 2014, it was actively included and recommended by the US magazine 'Menโs Journey' as an industry favorite; in 2015, it won the Global Creative Furniture Design Award at the CIFF Furniture Exhibition. These honors fully demonstrate the Keel Chair's outstanding performance in design, quality, and market influence.
