Flux is what happens when good design meets flexibility. Taking its cue from the lines of origami, Flux Chair goes from flat
to
chair in only ten seconds. Weighing in at only 10.6 pounds, Flux Chairs are light enough to carry around and strong enough to
support
up to 352 pounds. When folded, the Flux built-in handle makes it easy to transport the chair from the patio to the park and
everywhere in between.
In a folded position, Flux Chairs can be stacked 21 chairs high in just one foot of space. For those with space
limitations, the
Flux Wall Strap makes it easy to store folded
chairs against the wall and can hold up to six Flux Chairs at a time.
For added comfort, Flux offers the Flux Chair Cushions in four different colors.
Made of weather-proof polypropylene, Flux Chairs are designed to be used both indoors and outdoors. Flux is available in
eight different colors.
Flux was created by two young designers, Douwe Jacobs and Tom Schouten of Holland. The concept for foldable, flat and
design-friendly furniture evolved during their 2008 graduation project for the Industrial Design Engineering Masters at the
Technical University of Delft.
Upon graduation, Jacobs and Schouten decided to start their own company for smart,
flexible furniture that appeals to designers and consumers alike. They named their company Flux in a nod to the idea of
transformation, change, and flow. With a small start-up loan from the university, Jacobs and Schouten created the prototype of
their first design, the Flux chair.
After winning every design fair and contest they entered, and receiving the highly
acclaimed New Venture Award and the Philips Innovation Award, Jacobs and Schouten used their prize money to further develop the
Flux Chair. Over one hundred full scale prototypes later, the young designers paired with a team of entrepreneurs in 2010 to
take the Flux concept international, increase production, marketing, and distribution.
Herman Miller's 3D Intelligent back material is a seating technology designed for the SAYL™ Chair. The 3-dimensional mesh-like suspension material is stretched from the Y-Tower at the back of the chair just as cables are stretched from the towers of a suspension bridge. The tension is greater in the transition areas, from the thoracic to the lumbar regions and between the lumbar area and sacrum. "Hinge points" allow these areas to flex and support the healthy, forward rotation of the pelvis. At the same time, less tension in other parts of the back encourages a full range of seated movement.
Y-Tower
Y-Tower is the primary support structure of Herman Miller's SAYL™ Chair. The Y-Tower retains tension, replacing the traditional frame of task chairs. It works like the towers from which a bridge is suspended and combines with a 3D Intelligent suspension material to provide frameless back support that hugs the user's back from resting through reclining, forward leaning and twisting motions.
