Joana Millán Marcoval - Softing

Softing

Softing is an armchair for a middle-aged public with sufficient financial resources that wants to work at home occasionally without forgoing any comfort. The main aim of the product is to improve the working posture in front of a laptop, whether the user is reading or writing. It also allows you to do it anywhere in the home, such as next to a window, as its light weight means it can be moved from place to place. For these reasons, Softing is the armchair of your dreams.

Main characteristics:

  • Combined work and relaxation ergonomics, which stops the back from bending when working.

  • Extendible support built into the armrest to be able to work with a laptop (reading or writing), which corrects wrong posture and affords an adequate field of vision (neither too low nor too high).

  • Possibility of choosing the right or left side for the support (depending on optional armrest).

  • Optional footrest.

Construction features:

  • Laminated wood structure that provides the support with flexibility.

  • Legs and armrests made from steel plate.

  • Support made in compact Formica material (plastic) joined by hinges to the armrest structure.

  • Headrest, backrest, seat and cushion on the armrest made from injected polyurethane.
