Ara is the first task chair developed and manufactured in Europe to achieve Cradle to Cradle accreditation.

The Elastomer Back
Ara’s character and performance are defined by the design of the chair’s adaptive elastomer membrane. The rigid outer frame supports the membrane with a posturally correct ‘S’ shape and its flexibility allows it to adjust automatically to the profile of your back. The elastomer membrane accommodates different shapes and sizes and responds subtly to changes in your back profile as you perform different tasks. So whether you’re reaching forward to type, turning sideways to talk to a colleague or reclining while on the phone, you’ll always feel comfortable and supported.

The Upholstered back
For those who simply prefer it that way, we’re also able to offer Ara as a fully upholstered chair. Making the back cushion elegantly slim means that it looks great and sacrifices none of the dynamic support from the elastomer membrane which sits behind it.

Returning your Ara at 'End of Life'
Cradle to Cradle is an approach to design which looks to make us truly environmentally effective, by developing products for closed loop systems in which all the materials used are safe and beneficial - either to biodegrade naturally or to be fully recycled into high quality materials for subsequent product generations, again and again. In order for us to maximise the value of the materials used in your chair we’d like to get them back once you’ve finished with them. It’s pretty simple, all you need to do is visit our website at www.orangebox.com/endoflife.htm
