Gesture Chair with Headrest
The Gesture chair was designed with all your working positions in mind. This is thanks to the Gesture's 360° adjusting armrests that move up, down, in, and out, and even swivel out of the way when you don't need them.
The chair comes with Steelcase's LiveBack technology, which flexes with you as you switch sitting positions throughout the day, and a revolutionary core equalizer system that gives users more or less lumbar support depending on their preferences.
"Passive" cushion edges flex to reduce pressure against your thighs, improving circulation to your legs and lower extremities.
