.04 Counter
Maarten Van Severen, 2000
The .04 Counter chair is characterised by an unobtrusive design. It offers comfortable seating despite a sleek design and is therefore ideal for office environments. It is particularly suited for meeting and conference settings, where it can be combined with standing-height tables for a healthy alternative to long periods of sitting.

Product family
.04
Maarten Van Severen's .04 chair is distinctly different in appearance from typical task chairs used in conventional office settings. Yet it offers advantageous ergonomic features: the chair's flexible integral foam shell has a comfortable sitting surface and pleasantly pliant back, and the micro-mechanism with a rubber ball joint allows gentle multi-directional movement. With its unobtrusive design, the .04 task chair is ideally suited to studio environments and home offices.
