The best laboratory chair for individual ergonomic adjustment

The Neon range is specifically developed for demanding work environments where precision, concentration and long working hours require optimal ergonomic support.

Unlike Texon (multi-user comfort) or Labsit (budget solution), Neon is designed to be fully adjustable to one individual user, ensuring the perfect sitting position throughout the working day.

Maximum adjustability for perfect posture

Neon offers one of the most extensive ergonomic adjustment packages on the market.

• seat height adjustment (450 – 620 mm or extended up to 820 mm)
• seat depth adjustment (up to 60 mm range)
• seat tilt adjustment (up to 9° forward tilt)
• backrest height adjustment (60 mm)
• weight adjustment (50 – 120 kg)

This allows each user to fine-tune the chair to their body and working position, resulting in a significantly improved ergonomic posture.

Synchronous technology vs permanent contact

Neon is available with two mechanical concepts:

• Synchronous mechanism: seat and backrest move together, supporting dynamic sitting
• Permanent contact backrest: backrest follows the user’s movements while working forward

The synchronous mechanism is the preferred choice for most laboratory environments, as it promotes active sitting and reduces fatigue.

Ergonomic design for laboratory work

The ergonomically shaped seat and backrest ensure optimal support in all working positions.

• narrow upper backrest for freedom of movement
• integrated lumbar support
• rounded seat front to improve blood circulation
• pelvic support for correct posture

This design ensures that the back remains supported even when leaning forward during precise laboratory work.

Hygiene and cleanability for laboratory environments

Neon is designed for laboratory use, where surfaces must be easy to clean and resistant to chemicals and disinfectants.

• smooth and easy-to-clean surfaces
• resistant to standard disinfectants
• durable materials for intensive use

The upholstery materials are tested and certified for resistance against disinfectants, ensuring long-term performance in laboratory environments.

Innovative 1+1 modular system

The Neon chair consists of two independent elements:

• chair base with mechanism
• replaceable upholstery element

This modular system allows easy replacement of upholstery without replacing the entire chair, improving sustainability and flexibility.

High-quality upholstery options

Neon offers multiple upholstery materials depending on the application:

• Skintec: maximum hygiene, durability and comfort
• Artificial leather: easy to clean and resistant to disinfectants

Both materials are suitable for laboratory environments and provide long-term durability and comfort.

Suitable for ESD and controlled environments

Neon is available in ESD versions compliant with EN 61340-5-1, making it suitable for sensitive environments such as electronics laboratories.

Typical discharge resistance is 10⁶ Ohm.

Choosing the correct seat height

The correct model depends on the height of your laboratory bench.

As a general rule, the seat height should be 20 to 25 cm lower than the work surface.

• Work height ± 80 cm → Neon 2
• Work height ± 90 cm → Neon 2 Extended (with footring)
• Work height > 95 cm → Neon 3

Safe working at height (DIN 68877)

For higher seating positions, safety standards require specific configurations.

Above certain heights, standard castors are not allowed. Neon 3 is therefore equipped with glides or sit-stop castors that lock under load, ensuring maximum safety.

Award-winning design

The Neon range has received major international design awards:

• German Design Award Winner 2013
• Red Dot Design Award Winner 2013

This confirms the combination of ergonomics, functionality and design quality.

A long-term ergonomic investment

With its modular design, high durability and 10-year warranty, Neon is designed for long-term use.

It improves productivity, reduces fatigue and supports employee wellbeing in demanding laboratory environments.
