Steelcase Karman
design
relies more on
physics than mechanism –
intuitively responding to your
movement and weight while
providing effortless comfort.
Its proprietary performance
textile, Intermix, creates
support that never sags or
feels stiff for people of all
shapes and sizes.
Casters have hard,
dual-wheels that roll smoothly
on carpets. They are 2
1
⁄2"
for increased mobility. Soft,
dark grey treaded, dual-wheel
roll-control casters are avail-
able for use on hard oors or
mats. Glides are also avail-
able as an option.
Tip: Do not roll the chair
across asphalt during
installation as this may
damage the casters.
Back frame and seat
shell are exible, encourag-
ing healthy user movement.
Arm caps can pivot inde-
pendently 28° in and 24° out
to accommodate individual
user preferences.
Arm height can adjust
independently within a 4"
range to help relieve upper
back and shoulder fatigue.
Comfort dial back con-
trol provides four settings
for the user’s personal pref-
erence and work style.
Lumbar height adjusts
over 3
1
/2" to provide additional
lower back support and is
available as an option.
Arm width adjusts 4
5
/8"
overall to support forearms
in neutral position.
