The HAG Futu Chair

 

November 6, 2009

I had the pleasure of attending one of the best industry events I’ve been to in my career last night.  To get you to understand how I can make such a bold statement you need to understand that this event had the following Serve Yourself Stations- popcorn, french fries (with bacon), pasta, antipasto and penny sweets… not to mention two well stocked bars.  Now, it’s not all about the food, there was also the introduction of amazing products and gracious reps.  But, come on, they had provided old fashion take away cartons for the popcorn.  What more could you ask for!

The event was hosted by Ritz Associates here in Boston and it was, among other things, introducing a fabulous new chair from Izzy, The HAG Futu Chair.  This chair has some interesting new features that I haven’t seen on too many other chairs out there in the market.  HAG has taken away all the unsightly levers and pulls and hidden them under the seat pan for a cleaner look.  It is also has a slightly smaller frame which was a joy to sit in.  I find that so many of the office chairs offered in America are so large in scale, being designed for the masses, that those of us that are under 6′/200lbs tend to get lost in them.  But the best feature of all was the textured legs on the base that allow you to rest your feet and actually have some traction to help move the chair around or to lift your feet up to obtain a more ergonomic seated position.  One of my fellow party pals said that this feature will literally change how he sits and he will likely judge all other task chairs by this feature.  I don’t know how you can ask for higher praise than that!  Well done Ritz, Izzy and HAG.

I loved this chair! And yes, it will totally change the way I look at chairs. The anti-slip-grips on the base were incredible. I’m just trying to figure out how to get those on my desk chair now… there has to be some way to work that into every chair!

Could you please tell me if there is a store where I can try out these chairs in Mass or Ct? I live in Western Mass and worry about buying such expensive pieces through the internet. Thanks.
