Meetings, conferences, and creative chats are the drivers of successful organisations. A chair that supports these encounters should offer more than just somewhere to sit. It must make users feel at home, inspire, and support them. The new se:mission swivel chair from Sedus has been developed with exactly this in mind.

“A great chair is like the perfect host—welcoming, relaxed, and stylish,” explains Ernst Holzapfel, Marketing Director at Sedus AG. “The se:mission chair has an open design that is reassuringly airy and contemporary. This makes it the ideal solution for conference rooms, meeting spaces, executive offices, as well as high-quality home offices.”

Dynamic sitting for improved wellbeing

The se:mission range of chairs supports intuitive, dynamic sitting and adapts to the user’s movements and posture. The patented DuoMotion movement concept combines a gentle tilt mechanism (7° open angle) with a flexible backrest that adapts to every movement of the user. For longer meetings or focused work, additional ergonomic features ensure optimum comfort:

• Healthier sitting – The ergonomic seat pan and bevelled front edge of the seat reduce pressure points and encourage an upright posture.
• Targeted back relief – The integrated lumbar support supports the lower back and protects the spine.
• Feel the comfort – The generously proportioned seat with spring-core cushions ensures exceptional comfort, even during long periods of sitting. The optional back mechanism automatically returns the chair to its original position after the user stands, helping to keep meeting rooms tidy.

Sustainability, ergonomics, and style in perfect harmony

Sustainability is more than a trend—it’s a necessity. The se:mission range sets new standards in the design of modern working environments. Its conference and task chairs have been developed to optimise the use of raw materials, are manufactured without glue, and feature replaceable, retrofittable side cushions. This helps to conserve resources and makes the chair adaptable to changing requirements.

As well as its thoughtful design and ergonomic excellence, the se:mission boasts an impressive approach to sustainability:

• Saving resources – The chair consists of a minimal number of precisely manufactured components, reducing material consumption.
• Sustainable recycling – Because it doesn’t use glue, materials can be easily separated and returned to the circular economy.
• Flexibly customisable – Thanks to its modular design, side cushions can be retrofitted so that the chair adapts to evolving needs.

Versatile design for individual working environments

High-quality seating should be both ergonomically adaptable and aesthetically agile enough to complement a wide range of settings. The se:mission is available in a variety of colours, materials, and configurations:

• Three backrest heights for different seating preferences.
• Customised upholstery options for seat, backrest, and covers.
• Exclusive elegant wood veneers.
• Various base options: four-star base with glides or castors, five-star base with castors.

“My favourite detail by far is the ingenious technical solution for attaching the side panels to the seat,” explains designer Volker Eysing. “There are no visible screw fittings—just a clean, all-around embedding of the panels in the recesses of the seat support shell. The chair features plastic panels, fabric- or leather-wrapped plastic panels, and veneered moulded wood panels made from 3D Veneer. Choosing the wooden version as the preferred option is something the entire project team can be proud of.”
