19 Seating Adjustment Hang Tag

®
#19
Introducing a design that is the sum expression of 18
integral parts, plus one equally integral human being.
PURPOSEFUL DESIGN
#19’s design is based on the most advanced ergonomic
and technical information available. Using a combination
of passive adjustments, thermal regulation, and innovative
materials, #19 delivers unsurpassed comfort, performance,
and sitting health.
Tria
#19’s seat is made of channeled foam, Technogel®,
and microporous upholstery. This is Tria®. It’s designed
to breathe and dissipate heat, ensuring you’re not too
hot or cold as you work. Technogel eliminates pressure
peaks and conforms more effectively to your body than
traditional padding. You gain even, long-term comfort.

Avatar
Avatar
The perfectly balanced, passive recline motion, Avatar®,
requires no tension adjustment. As you recline, the
back of the seat gently rises to support your pelvis and
keep your spine aligned properly. The same motion
also opens your body angle at a 4:1 back-to-seat ratio
(more than traditional chairs) for optimal circulation.
In addition, Avatar maintains your line of sight as you
recline, while the armrests remain stationary for continuous support.
PURPOSEFUL DESIGN
VenTech
VenTech™, the thermal weave used in the chair back,
is designed to manage heat accumulation and loss.
This helps your body maintain a steady temperature,
so you’re not too hot or cool while working.
Plexus
The Plexus™ lumbar system increases fabric tension
for contoured lower back support. A sliding component
tightens the fabric and can be easily adjusted while
you’re seated, providing continuous, uninterrupted
lumbar support.

TILT LIMITING
Choose from three recline
positions by pulling the
lever forward or backward.
CONTROLS:HOW TO
Lumbar Support
Lumbar support can be adjusted using Plexus, the sliding mechanism that increases the back’s fabric tension.
While seated, reach back with both hands and slide
the mechanism up or down to the desired height. Total
support range is 3.25".
Tilt Limiting
The tilt limiting lever, located on the left, has three settings that correspond to three recline positions: upright
work posture (11º back angle), relaxed work posture
(20º back angle), and full recline (30º back angle). Pull
the lever forward or backward to achieve the most
comfortable recline position.

Seat Depth
The seat can be positioned front-to-back to accommodate different thigh lengths. The seat depth knob is
located directly below the front of the seat. While seated,
turn the knob clockwise until you reach a stop, then
slide the seat forward or backward. When the desired
position is achieved, turn the knob counterclockwise to
lock. A clicking sound will be heard throughout the entire range of rotation, however the seat is not properly
locked until a series of deep, loud clicks are heard.
Total seat depth range is 1.5".
Seat Height
The seat height adjusts from 17"-22" (standard cylinder)
or 15"-20" (two-stage cylinder). From a seated position,
pull up on the right-hand lever and adjust the seat to
the desired height.
Armrests
Armrests can be positioned vertically from 7"-11" and
pivoted 30° inward to 15° outward. The vertical adjustment button is located on the underside of the armrests.
While seated, press the buttons while moving the armrests to the desired height. To angle the armrests in or
out, simply rotate them to the most comfortable position.
CARE AND CLEANING
Very little is required to keep your #19 working properly long-term. Raising and lowering the pneumatic
height adjustment cylinder (see seat height adjustment) at least two or three times per year is beneficial
to your chair’s performance.
Tria Solid Seating Upholstery
Spot cleaning may leave rings. For best results, clean
the entire seat using water-based cleaning agents, foam,
or pure, water-free solvents (Energine, Carbona, Renuzit,
or other similar products). Vacuuming or light brushing
is recommended to prevent dust and soil buildup.
VenTech Thermal Weave
To maintain the back’s appearance, frequent vacuuming or light brushing to remove dust and soil is recommended. Avoid using a rotary brush, as this will damage
the nap. Spot clean with an upholstery shampoo if
necessary. Solvents containing petroleum distillates
should never be used.
Frame and Base
Wipe clean with warm water and mild soap.
Extendable Life
#19’s frame and base are made from 100% recycled
aluminum. 88% of the materials that go into #19 are recyclable. As new features are developed, the chair can
be upgraded, which means #19 will fulfill its design
function as long as your workplace needs it.
