Karman
Steelcase Karman is a next-generation ergonomic chair designed to deliver comfort through simplicity and intelligent material design.
Instead of relying on heavy mechanisms, it uses a weight-activated system that automatically responds to the user’s body and movement, allowing the chair to adapt naturally without constant adjustment. It features Steelcase’s LiveBack technology, a flexible frame that moves with the spine, and a patented hybrid seat that combines suspension with integrated cushioning for long-lasting comfort. The chair is built with a proprietary Intermix textile, a high-performance material that balances breathability and support while distributing weight evenly across the seat and back.

The ultra-light, flexible frame eliminates pressure points and allows users to move freely in different sitting positions, while the chair continuously adjusts to maintain support. This creates a “set and forget” experience where comfort is immediate and consistent, even across different users. Combined with its lightweight construction, refined design, and reduced material usage, the Karman represents a more modern approach to seating—focused on intuitive comfort, fluid movement, and minimal complexity.
