Spirit Air office chair

The Spirit Air is the Spirit with a breathable mesh covering in the back. The patented Freedom mechanism lets the backrest follow your movements without manual adjustment; the 4D armrests are adjustable in height, width, depth and angle.

Version

• Manager black or chrome: without headrest, with 4D armrests
• Executive black or chrome: with headrest and 4D armrests

Seat upholstery

The back is always mesh; the fabric group you choose applies to the seat and determines the price. Within a group every colour costs the same. You choose the colour after ordering; we will contact you for this. All colours per fabric group are shown with the photos, and the complete fabric chart can be downloaded: fabric chart (pdf).

What does the Martindale number mean?

In the Martindale test, a fabric sample is rubbed back and forth under weight until wear occurs. The number is the number of cycles the fabric achieves. Below 25,000 is light domestic use, 25,000 to 40,000 normal office use, above 40,000 heavy office use and above 100,000 suitable for 24-hour use such as control rooms and shift work. A higher number says something about abrasion resistance, not about how the fabric feels.

Difference between the materials

• Fabric is woven, breathes well and is available in the most colours. Polyester (AL, AB, ME, CH, ST) is strong and colourfast.
• Faux leather (NX, SC) is a woven backing with a coating. It can be wiped with a damp cloth, but it breathes less than fabric.
• Wool blends (MF, CS, SY, RM) feel fuller and are less prone to pilling. They are somewhat more sensitive to stains.
• Genuine leather (SX, PA, TS) is grain leather from the Italian tannery Dani. It breathes, adapts to body temperature and develops a patina over time.
• Mesh in the back is available in RP, RR Runner or RY Rhythm. Mesh covering breathes best and gives slightly.

All fabrics, mesh and leathers comply with EN 1021-1 and EN 1021-2, the European standard for the fire behaviour of upholstery.
