Steelcase Gesture Executive Chair

Steelcase Gesture WORLDS BEST EXECUTIVE CHAIR - with the multiple test winner Gesture Executive Chair, the market leader Steelcase brings more movement and ergonomics into the executive office. The Cradle2Cradle-certified Gesture is the best ergonomic executive chair in the world and has been awarded Best Ergonomic Office Chair 2019 and 2020.

The use of mobile devices and large monitors is also a matter of course for executives today. This has also given rise to other sitting postures, the "reclined posture" being one of the most common and without adequate support can put unnecessary strain on the neck and shoulders. The Gesture is perfect for these applications and, from our point of view, technically and ergonomically the best executive chair ever made by Steelcase.

Thanks to the latest technologies, the Steelcase Gesture can adapt to these different working positions much better than a conventional executive chair. Steelcase's innovative Gesture Executive was developed based on the Global Posture Study, in which Steelcase researchers identified 9 different sitting positions that determine everyday office life, including those of executives in the executive office. Gesture is the first chair for the executive floor that specifically supports the flowing and changing movements with the new technologies and also takes into account the operation of smartphones, tablets and phablets. The seat depth adjustment and the Gesture synchronous mechanism are included as standard, this enables a synchronized movement of the seat surface to the backrest (ratio 1:2.6) and gives the seated person the opportunity to lean back and relax in the fourth detent position of the synchronous mechanism (reclining chair effect ). The mechanics can be unlocked over 4 detent positions. In the first locking position, the seat and backrest are locked in the foremost working position, with the backrest still being able to move slightly via the Core Equalizer. The backrest can be released further backwards via the second and third detent positions. In the fourth locking position, the back is freely movable and can be moved backwards freely up to an opening angle of 135° and the gesture mechanism can unfold the effect of full freedom of movement. The seat cushion, which some users find a bit "soft", is designed for a load capacity of up to 150kg, like the entire office chair. Steelcase deliberately designed the seat to be comfortable, soft and cuddly, but with the leather upholstery the executive seat appears a little less soft than the fabric-covered versions. The seat shows little lateral mobility in all height settings.

Our Gesture executive chair test winner already has the automatic lumbar support known as the Core Equalizer (lumbar support especially effective against herniated discs) in the basic version. When you sit down, you get the feeling "this chair is made for me". Optionally, the Gesture can also be supplied with the additional, adjustable lumbar support; for a small surcharge, this offers additional fine adjustment through the height adjustability of the lumbar support. Both functions are to support your lumbar spine and help against the risk of herniated discs in office work. The Gesture's best feature is its ability to accommodate different measurements and preferences for sitting postures. Whether taller or smaller (we recommend the Gesture from 163cm), whether lighter or heavier, you are always on the safe side with this excellent and adaptable swivel chair. This swivel chair meets all needs and can be quickly and individually adjusted to a body weight of 50kg to 135kg, making it the right seating furniture in the office even for tall people over 200cm.

Wirecutter review: "Steelcase Gesture - the best Office Chair for 2020. This is one of the most adjustable chairs available—anyone can make the Gesture comfortable, regardless of their height or size—and it's built to last. Through multiple test panels involving dozens of Wirecutter staffers trying out office chairs, the Gesture has continued to be a favorite since we first recommended it in 2015. It’s one of the most comfortable, supportive, and durable executive office chairs we’ve ever tested."

The Steelcase Gesture Executive Chair, which is excellent from an ergonomic point of view, is available from us in various European leather colors. Basically, we deliver this armchair with the world's most innovative armrests, the 360-degree adjustable 4D Gesture armrests. These special armrests (36040Armrests) easily support working with Android smartphones, iPhones and tablets. With these multidimensionally adjustable armrests, which are the best in the world according to our own comparative tests, every sitting and working position at the desk is supported in the best possible way.

The Gesture office chair is manufactured in the modern Steelcase factory in Sarrebourg/France and is available with and without a headrest. The extremely adjustable headrest offers you special relief and can be adjusted in height by 15 cm, swiveled forwards and backwards by 10 cm and rotated backwards by 90 degrees. This headrest can be perfectly adjusted to the length of the neck and head size of the user and is upholstered in leather on the Executive. Your cervical spine will thank you, and annoying neck pain can be reduced. There is no other headrest in the world that offers as many adjustment options as the Gesture Executive headrest. This headrest can also help prevent neck pain and headaches by promoting proper alignment of the spine and reducing tension in the upper body. With the Gesture armrests and the Gesture headrest, this executive chair is currently the most innovative and best in the world according to our tests and will also be the best ergonomic executive chair ever tested in 2021. Steelcase wins the German Design Award 2018 with the Gesture chair in the Gesture version with headrest and is therefore the best ergonomic executive chair in Europe.

The Gesture Executive Chair is equipped in the basic price as follows: WITHOUT the additional lumbar support, WITHOUT headrest, and with color scheme black/black=BB with the polished aluminum base. The additional lumbar support and the headrest can be configured at extra cost. Color schemes DD, DL or LL can also be configured at extra cost. Note on Seat Height: The seat height of the chairs is measured by Steelcase at the factory in accordance with EN1335-1. These dimensions may differ from "self-measured" dimensions, as in practice the height is not so easy to determine without a suitable measuring device.
