Karman by Steelcase

The Steelcase Karman elevates mesh-seating design with its proprietary Intermix performance textile, ultra-light flexing frame, and a weight-activated mechanism that intuitively responds to the body’s movements. The result is a chair that supports dynamic postures, while delivering a refined aesthetic and minimal environmental impact.

Key Features:

  • Intermix™ textile seat and backrest: exclusive to Karman, offering mesh-breathability plus responsive cushioning and color/finish versatility 
  • Weight-activated mechanism: automatically adjusts resistance based on user weight and posture changes—making the chair intuitive straight out of the box 
  • Patented hybrid seat with integrated cushioning and a flexing “comfort edge” frame that reduces hard pressure points on thighs and legs 
  • Fully adjustable 4D arms (height, width, depth, pivot) and optional lumbar support and high-back version with neck pillow for upper-body comfort 
  • Sustainability built-in: the chair is designed with fewer materials, weighs around ~29 lbs (≈13 kg), includes recycled content, is highly recyclable, and is available with CarbonNeutral® product certification  

Ideal For:
Professionals or teams who spend long hours seated, value premium ergonomics and finish, and want a chair that fits both high-end office interiors and modern home-office setups. Also suited for users seeking a product with strong sustainability credentials

Available Options:
Choice of standard-back or high-back with neck support, casters or glides for hard or carpet floors, multiple base/arm finishes, and an extensive palette of Intermix textile colors and finishes (including color-shifting “Shift” options)
