The name RIYA is derived from the ancient Greek word for river. It was chosen to reflect RIYA’s ability to go with the flow wherever it is used in a modern, open office. It has rounded shapes, as well as clear and simply-designed control elements. The chair’s form adapts to the user’s body shape and posture, thanks to its easy-to-use and easy to find bright orange controls.
The chair can switch effortlessly between different workers in a shared working environment, making it a key component in an open and humane workplace culture. One of the greatest strengths of RIYA is its adaptability. The chair gives users a choice of two adjustment techniques. For shared workspaces, RIYA‘s automatic weight adjustment option makes it ideal for switching between different users, while for workers who spend long periods sitting at a personal workstation, a classic synchro-mechanism enables them to achieve the perfect fit.
The lumbar support not only offers ergonomic comfort, it is also a design feature. The high back option encloses the user to increase their visual and acoustic privacy for quiet, focussed work. A wide choice of colours and textures are available for the seats and backrests.
In addition, its dynamic form and inviting aesthetic make the chair a great addition to the modern office. For the launch of RIYA, the Greenwich Fabric Collection by PearsonLloyd was chosen, providing a broad palette of eight colours.
RIYA chair is being presented for the first time by Bene.
