Defign brings a clean, sculptural presence to executive and conference seating, combining sleek form with enduring comfort and versatile configurations.

Defign is a refined executive and conference seating collection defined by a “Quiet Modern” aesthetic, created using visually minimal elements that emphasize clean geometry and restraint. Product designer Michael Shields highlights the crisp, parallel edges of the arms and upholstery that enhance the chair’s thin profile, while sculptural polished aluminum arms integrate fluidly into the backrest to provide a cohesive, 360-degree visual experience.



This timeless simplicity gives Defign remarkable adaptability across a range of environments. Despite its sleek form, the seating line is engineered for comfort with internal spring construction and contour-molded cushioning that support users through extended use. The family includes low, medium, and high back heights, allowing for a tailored approach to function and style in executive offices, conference rooms, and lounge areas.
Defign also offers flexibility in aesthetic customization and configuration. Seating options include swivel, lounge, and glide base variants, with finishes in dark bronze, black matte, or polished aluminum. Arms can be specified or omitted based on preference, and poly-resin arm caps are available in black or grey to complement a variety of palettes and project needs.
