Everybody’s different, and everybody sits differently, especially as they interact with technologies throughout the day.
That’s why we created Gesture. Designed for all the ways technology shapes your posture, Gesture supports the largest range of postures and users so you can sit all day without feeling like you sat all day.
Voted best office chair*, Gesture offers best-in-class features and performance.
- Designed with 3D LiveBack® , the contoured backrest aligns perfectly with your spine’s natural S-shape, providing continuous lower back support whether you’re sitting up for a meeting or reclining back and typing a text.
- A flexible seat edge in the front relieves pressure points under your thighs while the soft edge around the perimeter supports different sitting styles.
- Fully adjustable 360° arms, mimic the human arm for comfortable support as you work across multiple devices. As you move, the armrests remain parallel to the worksurface, so you can stay comfortable and connected at every angle of recline.
- Gesture is ideal for users who prefer a dialed in, precise fit. All adjustments are located on the right-hand side within an arm’s reach—easy to find and use.
If you’re looking for ultimate, long-lasting comfort and support, especially as you interact with today’s technologies, Gesture is the chair for you.

How can I adjust the Gesture office chair?
Gesture adjusts its seat depth and seat height via two innovative, intuitive controls located underneath Gesture.
Depth is adjusted by remaining seated and turning the knob away from you (to extend depth) or towards you (to retract depth).
Height is adjusted by removing your body weight and holding the lever up (to raise the chair) or sitting in the chair and holding the lever to lower it.
Back tension and angle can be adjusted by a variable backstop dial beneath the right arm rest, which can be rotated to set one of four preset positions.
