WILKHAHN's AT office chair cuts a fine dash whatever the working context, thanks to cleverly thought-out technology and high levels of individualisation.
The AT office chair can be configured with a wide range of upholstery fabrics in different colours – its basic body is available in black and white – so that a variety of combinations are possible

×Architects and interior designers who are professionally involved in the planning,
furnishing and equipping of office spaces are aware that for some years now, office design has no longer been subject to one single megatrend, but that modern office seating and furniture has to be individually adaptable to the stylistic context of the individual company.
This is why the AT office chair can be configured with a wide range of upholstery fabrics in various colours. Its basic body is available in black and white, which means that a wide range of combinations is possible. On the Wilkhahn website, architects and designers have access to digital data packages that can be used to showcase the AT in virtual office spaces.

×This gives customers a precise impression of how the chair can be integrated into a specific architectural environment. At the same time there are of course already impressive examples of how the AT performs in real rooms.
For example, the smart Wilkhahn all-rounder has been chosen by the interior designers of CBRE, the world's largest service company in the real-estate sector. In a former Peugeot garage in Amsterdam, the new company HQ in the Netherlands has become a prime example of how the AT demonstrates its worth both aesthetically and ergonomically.

×Because it can have a decisive effect on the productivity of employees, the choice of an office chair should ideally reflect the individual processes and working methods within the individual company. Factors such as quick adjustability and flexibility in various sitting positions contribute a great deal to healthy working. As a chair and office furniture specialist, Wilkhahn can look back on more than a hundred years of experience in this field.
Michael Englisch, the long-standing head of design, and his team have, of course, ensured that the latest technical developments are given a contemporary, durable form: ‘With the ON and IN swivel chairs, we created two ranges that have been highly successful on the market for over ten years. With the AT, we have now developed a third series which is particularly suitable for modern, dynamic office forms’. Flexibility – in both the physical and figurative sense – is at the heart of Wilkhahn design concepts.
