The Conpasso Task Chair System by Sedia Systems

Designers Lucci and Orlandini present Conpasso for Sedia Systems, a stack chair system with tremendous versatility, adaptability, and flexibility—and a conspicuous amount of joie de vivre, if I don’t say so myself. Offering the “highest level of comfort and reliability in a lightweight chair,” Conpasso is a millennial solution for classrooms, auditoriums, and conference halls, and just maybe for your very own office too.

One look at Conpasso and the bestowal of said award seems a foregone conclusion. This multi-use task chair possesses a light, bright aesthetic that contravenes the look typical of similar utilitarian seating systems. And, much in keeping with the “light” theme, Conpasso’s innovative leaf spring structure deeds it exceptional micro-elasticity and flexibility.

The extensive palette of finishes and optional features helps in this regard. Among same, users will find wooden laminate in maple, oak, and natural beech; multiple hues of vibrant polypropylene; and upholstery in the softest of Sedia fabrics. Other options include fixed or uplift seats, foot supports or floor mounted configurations, and the choice of stand alone chairs or a ganging configuration.

And, depending upon the intended use, Conpasso can be outfitted with armrests, flip-up seats, flip-up tablet arms, and—my personal favorite—anti-panic tablet arms. The latter feature makes Conpasso a great choice for lecture halls and auditoriums, as it facilitates what your elementary school teacher yearned for all those years in the event of an emergency: an orderly exit.
