Technology

The best support disappears.

You feel the focus, not the mechanism. Ergonomics, materials, and testing work quietly underneath—supporting long hours of work, play, and rest.

How we build

Standards are the starting line.

We simulate. We stress-test. We sit. Then we refine structure, materials, and support for the hours that follow.

True quality isn’t just how it feels at first. It’s how it performs, day after day.

Every touchpoint has a job.

We test materials for softness, airflow, durability, and daily wear—then choose each one for the way the chair will actually be used.

Soft from the first touch.

A smooth, leather-like surface brings a softer hand feel to everyday sitting.

CatClawShield™. Ready for paws.

Dense-weave pet-friendly fabric helps resist everyday scratches, snags, and spills.

Air in. Heat out.

Open mesh improves airflow while maintaining support through long desk hours.

OTO CatClawShield™

Built for homes with pets.

CatClawShield™ helps reduce everyday scratches, snags, spills, and cleanup stress without giving up a soft feel.

Claws catch less.

Ultra-high-density lock-stitch knitting reduces gaps between fibers, helping claws catch, pull, and loosen fewer threads.

More than skin deep.

A high-strength composite layer beneath the knit helps disperse pressure and protect the cushioning underneath.

Spills bead. Cleanup stays simple.

A water-repellent finish helps liquids stay on the surface, where they can be wiped away with a cloth.

Live with your pets, not just around them.

Posture Intelligence

Support that follows the sitter.

We study how different bodies sit, move, lean, and shift. Those observations shape our seat bases, backrests, lumbar systems, and support zones.

Not built for one ideal posture. Built for the way people actually sit.

    Load capacity tested

Tested. Then tested again.

Load, stability, durability, and material tests put numbers behind every sit, shift, and recline.

Load Tests

Drop Load Proof Test

Drop Load Proof Test

136 kg / 300 lbs

Weight is dropped onto the center of the seat to evaluate impact resistance and structural strength.

Backrest Load Test

1,001 N force

Force is applied to the backrest to test support strength under repeated leaning pressure.

Forward Overturning Test

600 N vertical force

A vertical force is applied to assess stability in forward-leaning conditions.

Rearward Stability Test

13 heavy discs

Discs are loaded against the backrest to evaluate rearward stability and tipping resistance.

Durability Tests

Seating Durability Test

100,000 cycles

A 57 kg / 125 lbs weight repeatedly impacts the seat to simulate long-term sitting use.

Tilt Mechanism Test

300,000 cycles

The chair is tilted repeatedly with load applied to evaluate mechanism durability over time.

Armrest Durability Test

60,000 cycles

Force is applied to each armrest to test stability and repeated-use durability.

Swivel Test

120,000 cycles

The chair is rotated repeatedly under load to test base, gas lift, and swivel performance.
