Introducing: Champ

a genuine interest in our products

and the people who use them.

We remain true to the spirit of our

brand by collaborating with leading

institutes on the scientifi c develop-

ment of our products. This has

resulted in a collection that is un-

paralleled in its breadth and depth.

He who understands more about

sitting, has studied it in detail.

Interstuhl is such a company and

will remain so: a world away from

corporate affi liations and concerns

about globalization. Over 600 em-

ployees craft exclusive German

goods and they do so in Germany.

Anyone who understands more

about sitting should rise up. Rise

above the tired old clichés about

quality and materials. Interstuhl

is what it is, and what it is is very

good.

Interstuhl

The idea of a Swabian business-

man and developer is embarking

on an international journey. It‘s

all about attractive and healthy

seating, whether we use it to

work, think, discuss, argue or

relax.

It’s all about a chair that actively

supports us at what we are doing.

Interstuhl innovations are con-

ceived, tested and developed in

an interesting mix of think-tank

and expert laboratory. That is what

makes us so unique. Simply stated

by Werner Link, the company’s

owner and Managing Director:

“We understand more about sit-

ting”. An honest statement that

has its origins back in 1961 when

the assignment was to create

relaxing seating for the workers

of a textile factory. The focus ever

since has been on expertise and

Whoever understands more about seating creates the perfect place for anyone.

product design for the newpoffi ce swivel chair, which has many seg-ments and conquers one thing for sure:Champ is the model found in sophisti-catedly furnished offi ces and heavilycharacterised by its low-key individuality. It does not tolerate any overloading. It needs space as an object and work fa-cilitator. Champ is equipped with a newrecognisable technical concept and of-fers an innovative sitting solution: Newlightness and distinctiveness accentu-ate the high value of the item.

Bodyfl oat

Bodyfl oat: the body glides into a

gentle rear fl ow movement.

The new mechanism covers a wide

weight spectrum from 45 – 120 Kg.

The front cantilever seating edge

makes it possible to fi nd a com-

fortable adjustment of the seating

incline. The innovative suspension

on the rear seating area means

the seating height no longer has to

be manually adjusted, just like

the height of the lumbar support

when the incline is adjusted.

The fi rst swivel chair with front

cantilever seating edge: new,

distinctive design.

Ergonomics

The support range for the lumbar spine can be ideally adjusted to the

height of the user.

Backrest height adjustment

The individually adjustable counter-pressure of the backrest permits

correct sitting for both light and heavy users.

Weight adjustment

Through the gentle floating movement of the seating area and back-

rest, the body is supported brilliantly in any position. The mechanism

covers a wide weight spectrum of 45 – 140 Kg

Bodyfloat mechanism

This ensures that the spine, which is very sensitive to vertical jolts, is

not subjected to excessive loads when sitting down, even at the lowest

seat height.

Sprung column

Regulates the distance between the backrest and front edge of the seat,

thus providing optimum support for the upper thighs; even for taller

users. When adjusting the astiv setting, the back remains in the same

position.

Seat depth adjustment astiv

Multiple adjustment of the seat in a forwards direction stops the pelvis

from tilting back. This relieves the spine and avoids a poor posture.

Seat inclination adjustment

The horizontally adjustable lumbar support adapts to the individual curve

of the lumbar spine; this reduces the muscle strain.

Adjustable lumbar support

The neck and shoulder muscles are relieved by the headrest when you

lean back.Headrest

The next position is the best

tive medicine and eases the pain

for those who already suffer. What

does an Interstuhl chair do? The

patient therapist offers support in

each posture. It generates a feel-

ing of well-being in all positions

and brings measurable relief.

Naturally, the courage to follow

our philosophy of dynamic sitting

has meant a break with all the

old rules: majestic, immaculate

and bolt upright vs. the new

From the seating specialists

Fact: from an anatomical point of

view ergonomics means move-

ment because movement is a

critical part of office health. It is a

law of nature that effective work

processes are one of the most

important sources of value-added

in the company. Back problems

are the greatest causes of absen-

teeism. A good chair will not heal

your back but it is good preven-

philosophy of doing it with gusto,

reclining, lounging, looking out the

window, concentrating.

“You can sit however you want.

Just sit on the right chair.” Each

new product development with

leading research institutes recon-

firms this and it is substantiated

by scientific input. The result:

Interstuhl chairs accommodate

every posture so ergonomically

that maximum support is ensured.

Premium products

Often the word innovation is more

of an obstacle than a useful coordi-

nate – all too often infl ated claims

and abuse of the term for purely

promotional reasons obscure the

distinction between real innova-

tion and the purely derivative. This

is why we are particularly pleased

that customers can now not only

experience the quality of our prod-

ucts, they can see it too: we are

the fi rst manufacturer to be grant-

ed the right to label our products

with the offi cial “Premium Product”

seal, awarded by the LGA testing

company and TÜV Rheinland Group

certifi cation body. In addition, we

have won yet another accolade: the

best “Quality Offi ce”. Put simply,

every Interstuhl product provides

a premium sitting environment

and all owners of Interstuhl chairs

can rest assured that they have

chosen the best possible product.

This has a positive impact on the

person as a whole and their entire

working day. Knowing this, we are

more than happy to issue a 5-year

guarantee. We share the praise for

our innovative seating solutions

with the research institutes that

are always ready to support our

developments and think we’ll keep

doing things this way.

Produkt-Design: Andreas Krob,

Joachim Brüske © interstuhl.

Andreas Krob is an industrial

designer. B4K was founded with

his wife Uta Krob in 2001. The

offi ce stands for sensitive design

of demanding and innovative tasks

from the design and architecture

fi elds. The furniture speaks an

indi vidual language of form and

each single piece is unique in its

character. With Champ, an offi ce

swivel chair was created, which

brings specifi c, technical innovation

together with classic, long-lasting

design into sophisticated rooms of

communication.

The product design for Champ was

realised in cooperation with

Joachim Brüske. Joachim Brüske

took charge of the technical mana-

gement in developing the new

mechanism.
