6.3.13 | Sparks, NV | Via Seating announces its new motion seating division. Feel Good Factors is the North American distributor for aeris-Impulsmöbel GmbH & Co. KG.

aeris-Impulsmöbel is based in Germany and is the world’s leading manufacturer of motion seating solutions. Feel Good Factors distributes the German-engineered Swopper® and Muvman®, active sit and stand products.

“Motion is key to improving health for employees who sit or stand for long periods of time at work,” said Nora Fenlon, Certified Associate Ergonomist and VP of Sales & Marketing for Via Seating. “Our German counterpart will help us advance our ‘movement philosophy’ through innovative motion seating products.”

When aeris-Impulsmöbel introduced Swopper, the motion-based chair/stool garnered worldwide recognition for its design and function. Swopper was a Best of NeoCon winner
at its first showing in the U.S. [NeoCon 2001 Gold Award for Workstation Task seating]. The next iteration of active seating was Muvman, an interactive solution for sit-to-stand applications introduced at NeoCon last year.

“Via is a well-established, respected manufacturer of seating in the U.S. that shares our commitment to forward-thinking design and the quality of German engineering,” said
Susanna Kindler, COO & Director of Marketing, aeris-Impulsmöbel. “We look forward to giving North American customers an opportunity to work differently—moving more intentionally and blurring the line between sitting and standing.”

Swopper and Muvman will be on display at NeoCon, June 10-12. Visit Via Seating’s motion seating division, aeris/Feel Good Factors, on Floor 8 of the Merchandise Mart, booth #8-8077. Via Seating will be in booth #8-1062.
