MedaPal, the new office chair in the Meda Collection, concentrates on the essentials. It combines intelligent technology with great comfort. The construction of the chair is simple, Meda Pal is easy to use and can be quickly adapted according to individual requirements.
An innovative feature of MedaPal is the effective utilisation of the latest developments in plastics technology. The backrest, which is moulded in a single piece, simultaneously offers support in the lower back area and flexibility in the shoulder region.
The seat shell and armrest bridge are made out of polyamide using a new manufacturing technique. As a result, MedaPal is lightweight and comfortable, yet very strong. The effective use of new materials makes it possible to achieve economical solutions while maintaining high quality.
The organic shape of the backrest, with the top edge angled slightly backward, offers greater freedom of movement.
A flexible knitted mesh fabric is stretched over the backrest frame. This adapts to the shape of the back and to the sitter’s posture, providing support and relieving pressure from the spine. The mesh fabric offers excellent air circulation.
The lumbar cushion (optional) offers additional support. Its height can be adjusted to fit the shape of the individual’s spine.
The armrests, which are adjustable in height and width, reduce stress on muscles in the shoulder zone.
The new profiled seat cushion snaps into place on the moulded seat shell. The seat indentation and a slight rise in the rear of the cushion automatically bring the pelvis into an upright position. Therefore, in combination with the anatomical shape of the backrest, the lower back receives optimal support. The front edge of the seat is slanted downward in order to prevent pressure points. These features promote a natural sitting position which is both comfortable and ergonomically correct.
The individually adjustable synchronised mechanism provides a smooth range of movement and encourages dynamic seating habits. The body receives optimal support in every sitting position.
The back can be locked in an upright position.The seat cushion, backrest and armrests can be replaced in just a few quick steps, without the use of specialised tools.
