Success is manifested in many ways. In your professional career it might be reflected in your top position or an academic degree. Financial success often comes in the form of a design of your new house or a luxurious car. And success in private life is usually seen in the faces of your nearest and dearest, you family and friends – the people you spend your most precious moments with.
We decided to include the notion of success and embody it in the design of office chairs: we have defined its key characteristics and then came up with a suitable and specific form for them. The result of our work is now known as YouTEAM™.
Don’t you think the world has become too much? It is overloaded with ridiculous information and lots of other things we don’t really need. We absorb them and keep buying more than we need. Then we end up carrying this extraordinarily heavy burden. No wonder we feel exhausted.
And now imagine you’re in the middle of a forest. Go on! Or do you prefer mountains? You can envisage mountain peaks or meadows. Or a sea shore. Anywhere, as long as you’re there without your mobile phone or something that could distract your attention. You only have what is absolutely necessary. There is just you and the nature around you. Isn’t it beautiful? Everything seems harmonious and at peace with itself.
If you look at the YouTEAM™ chair, you will immediately notice this kind of harmony. The back line is arching slightly, only to be seamlessly connected to the seat cover in what we can recognise as a light, delicate frame. It is this frame that defines our product. It is the spine that carries only what is absolutely indispensable. Just like in nature, there are no complicated shapes, no sharp angles and abrupt refractions. You won’t find a single superfluous element here. These features account for the timeless quality of this design, which will remain intriguing and resistant to short-lived trends.
You probably know this feeling when you wake up in the middle of the night and move around in the darkness, so as not to disturb anybody. How is it possible? You easily find your way around, because you know each square metre of your house. That’s what makes it intuitive.
We have made every effort to design the YouTEAM™ chair this way – so that you can use it intuitively. We thought it should be so easy to use as if you had it for years and knew it by heart. You just sit down and adjust its position without thinking much about it.
The secret behind this simplicity is the precise and reliable adjustment mechanism hidden in an understated casing. The icons on the buttons, which were designed especially for the YouTEAM™ line, are just as subtle. This tiny accent proves that we remembered about every single detail of this chair.
Some researchers say that a few dozen – or even a few – seconds are enough to make a lasting impression. In these first moments you decide whether or not you will like a specific person or place. Anyway, your office may immediately attract clients or renowned specialists you would like to hire, if only you give it a chance. Once people enter your office, the carefully arranged space will tell them a story. As always, the beginning is the key: it should be neither boring nor imposing.
YouTEAM™ chairs will make a perfectly balanced storyteller. They make a statement, but in doing so they are subtle. Rather than shout, they softly embrace you with their voice, like a skilful moderator. Whether you’re looking at a swivel or a stationary chair with a high or low back, whether it’s upholstered or made with elasto-net, each piece of furniture will tell you its own story, which nicely fits in with the rest of the line. It is a story of splendid design, sublime taste and your character as a leader who realises that success relies on the quality of relations with your colleagues and partners.
