Product Details
Dual-pivot recline with floating lumbar support, built for a decade of daily use – The i29 is a high-back ergonomic mesh chair engineered for professionals who sit 6+ hours a day, combining a synchronised dual-pivot mechanism with a patented floating lumbar and pelvic support system (available with a mesh or fabric seat, and an optional ergonomic or executive headrest).
Rated to 150kg and specified for use up to 24 hours a day – i29 carries a 10-year manufacturer's warranty in single-shift settings, reducing to 3 years in continuous 24-hour environments. It features an intuitive three-lever control for seat height, seat slide and dynamic tilt, plus 4D multifunctional armrests that adjust in height, depth, width and pivot.
Key Highlights:
- Dual-pivot recline mechanism: Independent backrest tilt with infinite lock positions, extendable direct tension control calibrated for users from 51kg to 149kg
- Floating lumbar and pelvic support: Moves with you in dynamic mode, with independent upper-back support built into the split backrest
- Aluminium height-adjustable backrest: Locks in three positions to match individual anthropometric measurements
- 4D multifunctional armrests: Height, depth, width and pivot adjustment with soft-touch pads
- Optional ergonomic or executive headrest: Both retro-fittable, with independent height and angle adjustment
- Aluminium five-star base: Fitted as standard, with black nylon or black aluminium alternatives available
Adjustment built around the movements that matter for a full working day – i29's controls are positioned for quick, in-session adjustment rather than a one-time setup, encouraging the postural changes that reduce strain over long sitting periods.
- Seat height (pneumatic): Sit on the seat and pull the lift lever to set your feet flat with knees near a 90° angle
- Seat depth (slide): Lift the slide button and adjust so there's a 20–40mm gap behind the knees
- Tilt tension control: Pull out and turn the mechanism to set neutral resistance for your weight, or leave unlocked for free-float dynamic movement
- Back height: Press the two back-frame buttons and lift or lower to support the natural curve of your spine
- Headrest (where fitted): Ergonomic headrest tilts, lifts and lowers; executive headrest lifts and lowers

Why it matters
Even a well-engineered chair won't help if it's set up incorrectly — you'll carry the same aches into a new chair. This guide covers the small, high-impact adjustments that fix the cause, not the symptom, so your chair delivers the comfort and support it's built for.

Place any order and we'll email your download link as soon as your order is confirmed. Open it on your phone, tablet or laptop and follow the steps as you set up your chair.
