The Design Story
Designer Todd Bracher, while creating the Trea, a unique multipurpose chair, studied how nature had resolved the issue of integrated articulation. His inspiration was a lobster shell: observing how the exoskeleton moves in harmony with the organism, while protecting it. Using the concept of nature's design, that inspiration became a chair which responds to the our natural desire to move and recline, and the Trea does this. Without knobs, dials, or levers. The result is a "solid state" recline mechanism which adapts intuitively to everyone.
"I wanted to design a multipurpose chair with a visual simplicity and unique recline mechanism that would allow it to be used anywhere and by anyone."
Todd Bracher, Designer
