Patented Mechanism for Dynamic Sitting
The RH Axia 2.1 features a unique split-seat mechanism, where only the rear part of the seat moves in tandem with your backrest. The front seat remains stable, supporting your thighs while enabling freedom of movement through the spine and pelvis. This design encourages natural micro-movements and postural variation, reducing fatigue during prolonged periods of work.
Circular Design Meets Daily Practicality
Just like every chair in the Axia 2.0 series, the 2.1 is built for longevity and circular economy compatibility. Each component is easy to disassemble, replace, or recycle at the end of its life. It’s a smart, sustainable choice for modern offices that value performance, wellbeing, and environmental impact.
