Seating
Filo by Bene
Filo is an innovative chair that perfectly meets office communication and work requirements. A new type of chair with great seating comfort for conferences, meetings, executive and front office desks.
Filo’s armrests plus sophisticated yet simple mechanical device provide continuous flexibility and great seating comfort. Filo demonstrates that concentration results from movement. While it instantly responds to minimal movements it enhances the user’s concentration.
Its manufacturing technique is innovative too: aluminium pressure casting, plastic injection moulding and hydraulic moulding of arm and back rests.
Prior to developing Filo, the designers of EOOS invited a Japanese master of archery to Vienna. He introduced them to ”Kyudo”, the art of archery including breathing and concentration techniques. He demonstrated that concentration derives from minimal movement.
The designers translated the marksman’s bow into the chair’s armrest. Filo offers great seating comfort and continuous flexibility without any complicated mechanical device. The user’s steady micro movements enhance concentration. The point is tension and relaxation, lightness and sophistication, which are inherent in the construction and design. An almost weightless yet robust design with a minimal formal code.
