Today Steelcase revealed SILQ\u2122<\/a>, a chair that transforms seating design. Through an innovation in materials science and a patent-pending process, Steelcase designers and engineers created a new high-performance polymer material that emulates the qualities of carbon fiber at a mass market price. This material, combined with the sensuous curves of the design, allows SILQ to respond to natural movements of the human body without the mechanisms typically required in high-performance seating designed for the workplace. The result is a chair that behaves more like an organism than a machine \u2013 a new archetype in office seating.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00b4create something that is truly unique\u00b4<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cThe idea behind SILQ comes from our deep belief about design. The visual language, performance language and material composition should come together to create something that\u2019s truly unique,<\/em>\u201d said James Ludwig<\/a><\/span>, vice president, global design and engineering. \u201cWe took inspiration from aerospace, the motion of a high-performance prosthetic leg and sculpture, among other things, to understand how the combination of advanced materials and shape could create a simple system that is incredibly thin, extremely strong and highly responsive<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n
