Self-weight synchronised

Seat and backrest move together in one coordinated motion, with the backrest tilting through a greater angle than the seat.

Coordinated, not just a tilt

Where a simple tilt moves only the backrest, synchronised movement holds posture, keeps pressure off the thighs and leaves the feet comfortably on the floor.

Opens the hip angle

Reclining opens the angle at the hip, easing fatigue over a long sitting while the backrest and lumbar stay in full contact and fully supported.

Responds to your weight

Reclining resistance sets itself from the sitter's body weight. No tension dial to find, and a balanced recline across a wide range of users.

Advanced recline control

Zenon features a 4-position backrest angle limiter, allowing users to select their preferred recline position while maintaining continuous contact between the backrest and user's body.
