Register nowComfortable posture made simple. Connex2 is on standby to support you in your ideal sitting position and follow your every movement. This is possible thanks to functions that respond automatically. You sit, your chair adapts to you.
The Red Dot 2020 for Connex2 with mesh back is a new addition to the portfolio of design awards: the Connex2 chair with upholstered backrest won the if Design Award and the German Design Award back in 2018.
This extremely comfortable office chair captivates with its clear lines and gentle curves, which look as though they were made of one piece and that endow the chair with a marvellously harmonious appearance. The striking aluminium element on the rear of the seat back underscores the contemporary look of this interesting design.
Statement of the jury
German Design Award
Adventurous use of colour makes for a pleasant surprise with Connex2: the controls are colour-coded so that they are easy to identify and intuitive to use. The backrest bar with integral armrests is optionally available in black, white-grey or polished aluminium.
The soft-touch armrests drop down when the chair is pushed into the desk, rounding off the intelligent sitting experience.
The three-dimensional seat movement encourages dynamic lateral left-right movement and supports the natural movement impulse.
When the sitter is leaning forwards in a concentrated working position the se at moves with them, thereby reducing the pressure on the underside of the thighs.
Its functions respond automatically to the body’s needs to ensure an ideal sitting position with minimum fuss.
Connex2 brings a breath of fresh air into the office. Its functions respond automatically to the body’s needs to ensure an ideal sitting position with minimum fuss.
The ideal basis to make it a real favourite in the workplace.
The design of Connex2 is primarily characterised by lines and turns from within the same design idiom, as well as familiar curves. One distinctive characteristic is the central aluminium element of the backrest support.
The armrests are an integral part and therefore an effective eye-catcher that adds value. They offer outstanding comfort: they move with the user when they recline. The arms are always comfortably in contact with the armrest wraps.
It connects the back and armrest with the chair as a whole, like a belt. This design feature and functional unit is new on the market, and should be highlighted as one of the special features of Connex2.

Connex2 is refreshing with its new free expression of colour: the controls are highlighted in colour.
The controls are clearly recognisable and intuitive to use – either in classic black or off-white, or in a striking shade of green or blue. This adds value where the use of this function is concerned – and therefore enhances the personalised adjustment potential of Connex2.
The colours green and blue are the result of a study carried out by Klöber. A system-wide colour scheme was developed based on the latest workplace trends: The physical and psychological wellbeing of employees is the central focus in the rapidly-changing working world. Colours play a key role here, as we take in over 70% of all information through our eyes. Colour and combinations are used specifically to make the working space into a living space.
Two trend themes are the basis for development of the colour collection used for the controls of Connex2.
