rustic curves of
vintage wrought
iron, along with floral and other
geometrical influences.

guaranteed

Their prestigious partnership with the Okamura Corporation in Japan is one that South
African firm Seating is extremely proud of. Since 2007 Africa’s major chair manufacturer
has been Sub-Saharan Africa’s sole distributor for this globally commanding office furniture
brand and carries nine of their ranges in their stable.
These two seating giants share a potent vision of advancing the future through precision
engineering, slick aesthetics and a fierce passion for ergonomic comfort.
Okamura’s 73-year-old brand continually pushes the boundaries of conventional design to
create award-winning product enhancements,
time and again. In particular, by revolutionising
office chair design functionality using intelligent
support and ‘smart relaxation’ mechanisms, to
ease the body’s tension and absorb the impact
of sitting.
The hugely successful Baron family of
chairs, was born of the unbeatable collaboration
between Okamura and world-renowned Giugiaro
Design — product designer for Ferrari, Maserati,
Apple, Nikon and the Olympic Committee.
Okamura’s revolutionary Leopard chair
boasts much more than incredible looks. It har-
nesses robotic technology to automatically
adjust to your body weight, embrace you while
seated, and gently assist you up when you’re ready to stand.
The five Okamura products currently in stock through Seating; are the Sabrina Standard,
Zephyr Light, Baron Netted Highback, Visitor and the Sylphy Highback. Having recently
received a large shipment of these chairs, Seating is able to offer excellent pricing and a
3-5 day delivery if you choose from the standards in stock.
They come standard with black netting backrests, black fabric seats, polished aluminium
bases, black nylon bodies and height-adjustable arms, (with optional headrests). However,
many other configurations, models or colours can be placed on order.
The entire range can be viewed online in their Zen Collection, or by calling Seating to
arrange a showroom visit. www.seating.co.za
has a thickness of 9mm, with a
matt finish, and is suitable for
wall or light floor application.
When using Centro Viena, you will
require little other room dressing
as the tile boasts plenty of visual
character all on its own.
