Our poles are different. Ordinary poles are susceptible to stress cracking – a  construction phenomenon that can only be avoided by adding more mass. That means more weight. Our exclusive DAC TH72M alloy eliminates stress cracking, so we can make our poles thinner so that they are both lighter and stronger. This is what keeps us ahead of the rest.

The Chair Zero and Chair Zero High-Back put serious strength in the seat. We take light, durable 100D polyester and weave in Aramid – a military-grade fibre known for its exceptional strength – to create a light, durable ripstop fabric that stands up to the sun, grime, granite, and years of sitting.

We anodize our poles – others don’t – using a unique Green Anodization process to give our poles their scratch-resistant, wear-protective finish. Used on 70% of our poles, our method cuts the use of harmful chemicals. And it results in poles that are stronger, longer-lasting, greener and look great on your chair.

Each pole segment is engineered and designed for its intended purpose - to support the full weight of sitting vs. the partial weight of leaning back. Each pole’s total weight (how much it weighs and how much weight it needs to support) is carefully considered in the design process.
