Amia™ is a chair with a secret. Beneath the Amia chair’s upholstery, inside its sleek backrest, there’s a form of a unique comfort system called LiveLumbar™ technology. You may not see it, but you’ll certainly feel it. As you sit in the chair, an adjustable LiveLumbar™ zone flexes with your every move, for consistent ergonomic support for your lower back. Hour after hour, day after day. With additional comfort features like 4-way adjustable arms, adjustable seat depth and a flexible front seat edge, Amia keeps you feeling good 24/7. It’s a chair for every day, that’s not your everyday chair.
The Amia™ chair was designed by the Steelcase Design Studio in collaboration with industrial designer, Thomas Overthun of IDEO. A very similar collaboration between Steelcase and IDEO resulted in the best selling Leap® chair in 1999 and the Leap WorkLounge in 2001. The Amia chair's shared origin with these products includes the ergonomic principles of Alive Seating™ technology, which first appeared in the Leap chair. Alive™ Seating technology supports natural movement of the body, and led to the Amia chair's LiveLumbar™ feature.

ERGONOMICS
- LiveLumbar™ System: Allows the user to experience continuous back surface support. Offers dialed in spring force in the lumbar region that actively supports the lower back and can be adjusted to match the user's anatomy.
- Synchro-Tilt System: The chair back and the seat are synchronized to move in a 2:1 ratio. As the user leans back, the seat rises only half as much, allowing the user's feet to remain flat on the floor.
- Adjustable seat depth: People don't fit neatly into average body sizes. Leg and torso lengths can vary independent of a person's overall height. Adjustable seat depth accommodates different body shapes for long-term comfort.

|
- Height, width, depth, and pivot arms: Arms telescope in and out, move forward and back, pivot and adjust up and down so you can find a natural position that comfortably supports the wrists, forearms, shoulders and neck.
- Passive seat edge: When you recline or lean forward, the seat edge flexes to relieve pressure on the back of the legs.
- Back tension controls: Allows the user to set the amount of "push back" desired when reclining, regardless of body size.

Steelcase began in 1912 as The Metal Office Furniture Company in Grand Rapids, Michigan. They received their first patent in 1914 for a steel wastebasket -- a major innovation at a time when straw wastebaskets were a major office fire hazard. That led to metal desks, and they've led the way with product and service innovations ever since. Today, their portfolio of solutions address the three core elements of an office environment: interior architecture, furniture and technology.
