Think Chair
by Steelcase
Steelcase® Think® Chair
The designers of the Think® chair set out to develop a task chair which would be intelligent enough to understand how you sit, and smart enough to adjust itself intuitively. Everything about the this chair, from the soft, supportive upholstery and/or mesh, to the seat and back flexors, flexible front seat edge and the incredibly adjustable arms combine to make the most intuitive chair on the market. You don't have to "think" about adjusting your chair because it does all the thinking for you.
The sleek visual profile and minimalist design of the Think chair also make it versatile enough to work in a variety of rooms in your home, or wherever you need a comfortable task chair. Advanced design features include:
- Your Profile™ Seat and Back
- Your Power™ Mechanism
- Your Preference™ Control
- Optional Adjustable lumbar support
Not only brainy and beautiful, the eco-aware Think also has a conscience: it was the first-ever certified level™ 3 product, and first to receive Cradle to Cradle Product Certification.
Available with a wide range of functional and aesthetic options (mesh colors, thousands of fabric, leather and vinyl choices, base color choices or optional polished aluminum base), the Think chair can be customized to work wherever you work in your home.

Steelcase® Think® Chair
The Steelcase Think chair is designed to create a “comfort pocket” in the seat that will correspond to the weight, pressure and posture of the owner. Because the chair intuitively controls the angles at which you can lean back (according to your body weight), you don't have to constantly “think” about adjusting the chair — it does it for you!
Available with a fully upholstered seat and back in any of the thousands of Steelcase and Designtex fabrics, leathers and vinyls. Custom materials are also an option. Two finish colors are available: black and platinum. Optional polished aluminum base. Optional adjustable headrest, which can be added or removed at any time. Optional adjustable lumbar, which can be added or removed at any time. Armless, Fixed arms or Adjustable arms options.
Features
Your Profile™ Seat and Back
Back flexors are individually shaped to the human form to provide optimum support for each area of the back. Seat flexors conform to your shape, providing a dynamic comfort pocket.
Your Power™ Mechanism
The mechanism moves as fluidly as the human body does. It provides recline support in proportion to your own body weight, while keeping you oriented to your work.
Adjustable Arms (Optional)
Adjustable Arms retract up to 3 in. upon contact with your work surface, allowing you to get closer to your work. They also pivot and move up and down to provide natural support.
Flexible Seat Edge
When you recline or lean forward, the seat edge flexes to relieve pressure on the back of the legs.
Your Preference™ Control
This control combines four comfort settings into one simple dial. Select your favorite setting: weight activated, weight activated with at 20% boost, mid-stop recline, and upright back lock.
Adjustable Lumbar support (Optional)
The lumber pad can be adjusted to provide customized support for the lower back.

The Think chair comes with Limited 10-year manufacturer's warranty.

Steelcase History

In 1975, Steelcase began their introduction of advanced ergonomic office chairs that address and adapt to the body’s movements with the Sensor® chair. The Leap® chair (1999), which addressed the correlation between back pain and worker productivity came next, followed by the Think™ chair (2004), an intuitive, mid-priced and environmentally sustainable product. Still newer ergonomic task chairs include Amia® and Cobi®, both offering the comfort and support of higher-priced chairs.
Today, Steelcase, Inc. supplies thousands of products worldwide, including metal and wood office furniture, systems furniture, seating, computer support furniture, desks, tables, credenzas, filing cabinets, and office lighting. Their rich history actually began with the introduction of steel furnishings to building interiors at the turn of the century.
At the turn of the 20th century, steel construction was making building exteriors less flammable, but office interiors were still crowded with wooden furniture, and still heated and lighted by open flame appliances. Smoking presented another fire hazard because ashes were often dumped in wicker wastepaper baskets. Beginning in 1912 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, The Metal Office Furniture Company (renamed Steelcase in 1954) had just 15 employees and a single product — a fireproof, metal wastepaper basket named the Victor!
During the 1930s, Metal Office collaborated with world-famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright to produce furniture for the S.C. Johnson & Sons in Racine building, which Life magazine called “the most inspirational office building of the 20th century.”
During World War II, the company designed steel shipboard furniture for the U.S. Navy. One piece of Steelcase naval furniture was used for the historic signing of the surrender documents ending World War II.
