Steelcase Leap Chair

Posted on October 24, 2006 Under Design


We are definitely fans of creature comforts here at the Spear Creative Group Offices; to this point, our Aeron chairs have played an important role in our longevity during long work days. But today we got a Steelcase Leap Chair to test–and while we’ve only been in it for a few hours, we think it might be giving our trusty Aeron a run for its money. The first thing we noticed is that Steelcase makes high quality chairs–they’re a major player in the office-furniture market and we’re familiar with some of their past products. The Leap Chair has an overall very solid feel and a multitude of features and adjustments (which are too numerous to name here). The prowess of the Leap Chair is supported by numerous case studies that document the increase in worker productivity that can be attributed to using this “office Cadillac,” as well as the numerous awards the Leap Chair has won. We were also truly impressed by the environmentally friendly production process used by Steelcase, which includes using materials that produce a chair that is 98% recyclable by weight! Aeron vs. Steelcase: who will be the victor? Stay tuned for the verdict.
