2 2 Why Why Why is an ergonomically designed task chair with a distinctive, contemporary style. All Why chairs have a self-adjusting synchronised mechanism which reacts intuitively to provide ultimate comfort for people of varying sizes and weights. A unique contoured height adjustable back ensures pelvic and lumbar support. The back is formed from a high performance polymer that flexes and adjusts to the movement of the body. Perforations aid the flexibility whilst providing necessary ventilation. Overall comfort is completed by the contoured deep moulded foam cushion with adjustable seat depth. Why is designed and manufactured using recycled and recyclable materials wherever possible. To conserve resources and lessen our impact on the environment, we have minimised the materials and components we use without compromising performance. Why is available in two versions: S-Type (see pages 4-5) and R-Type (see pages 6-9).
