10.29.09 | Green Bay, WI | KI’s new Altus task seating, previewed at NeoCon East, offers superior lumbar support and a sleek, modern design. The Altus line includes a fabric task chair, mesh task chair and conference chair.

“Altus serves as our latest seating collection that delivers outstanding comfort, style and value,” said Shawn Green, vice president of product management, KI. “The beauty of Altus lies in its simplicity. Altus takes the complexity out of task seating.”

Altus provides better lumbar support than other task seating by providing constant contact between the chair back and user. Altus fabric chairs automatically support a user’s lumbar as the individual reclines. Altus mesh chairs feature a high tension mesh pocket that flexes in three dimensions with a user’s lower back. Traditional task seating utilizes static, user-adjustable lumbar supports and back height mechanisms that don’t move with the user, resulting in less support.

Extending its unique value with a contemporary linear style, Altus displays a strong aesthetic with precise finish details at a midmarket price. An aluminum base option provides a visual accent. Altus sustainability features include slipcovers for the seat and back and an innovative recyclable armpad.

Altus seating has received GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certification^® for low emitting products from the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute (GEI). Altus seating was designed and produced by Sidz with support from KI.
