Most seating manufacturers take a “one-size-fits-all” approach to chair design which may fit many, but won’t fit everyone. ergoCentric believes that everyone should be comfortable and healthy at work and our build-to-order, modular manufacturing system allows us to fit every person with the perfect chair.
