TILT TASK CHAIR
Diploma Project - 2026

Tilt Task Chair - Task Chair For Home Office

Maple, Elastomer -
Tilt Task Chair explores a simplified tilting mechanism that supports changing postures during home office work. The chair responds to users leaning into their work, allowing smooth transitions between neutral and forward-leaning postures. The design emphasizes the legibility of the overall structure, allowing the chair's movement and replaceable joint system to communicate how they work through their form. Interchangeable joints also allow users to personalize the chair's flexibility and color.

-
The replaceable joint builds upon the earlier project - Movable Joint. Among the explored concepts, a joint geometry was selected for its ability to clearly communicate how it works and how it can be replaced through its form.
