Generation by Knoll® promotes interaction and collaboration which are increasingly at the core of dynamic organizations, requiring furniture that is both agile and flexible.
Generation by Knoll™ offers a responsiveness like no other chair. The Flex Back facilitates changes in posture and position and the Flex Top extends the range of movement, allowing you to sit comfortably in any position - even sideways.

The Flex Seat, Continuous Lumbar and inventive arms create a fluid combination that supports your every movement. The Flex Seat offers 270 degrees of seat edge flex without a hard frame or obtrusive levers and the Continuous Lumbar carries the lumbar support in the Flex Back resulting in seamless movement from upright to perched or side sitting positions.
As always, Knoll is committed to sustainable design; developed to meet all Environmental Guidelines. GREENGUARD® certified, constructed with 40% to 46% recycled materials. Generation is also SMaRT© Sustainable Platinum certified and PVC-free.
