constructed by allsteel furniture company, the ‘mimeo chair’ by studio fifield proves that engineering, comfort, and elegance can be orchestrated to create a striking composition that will enrich any environment. designed to leverage the potential of today’s materials and manufacturing methods, the design offers maximum comfort and versatility to a wide range of users and workplaces. the ‘intelliform’ back structure echoes that of the human body. this 3D knit is the skin, warm to the touch, breathable and responsive, distributing pressure and delivering initial support where it is needed.

the design offers maximum comfort and versatility

the flexible back carrier acts as muscles, adapting to different shapes and responding to the change in physical forces as users move from one activity or posture to another. the back uprights, or the bones, support and transfer loads in a controlled manner to the ground through a weight-activated mechanism concealed below the seat. the mimeo has been designed to accommodate needs of the modern day worker and support cross-functional interactions in environments when space is limited but expectations are high.
