Subtlety and elegance are the two hallmarks of the That’s it Chair, designed by Tristan Esparza of Alegre Design for the Italian brand, Quinti, which takes care of the people’s posture with a backrest created entirely using die-cast aluminum.

“Our product design team went to great lengths to respond to Quinti’s need: an executive chair for executive positions, with innovative use of aluminum,” explains Alegre Design’s founder and CEO, Marcelo Alegre.

That’s it Chair’s design is the result of Alegre Design’s two-decade experience in the office furniture sector and, as a professional chair, it complies with the strictest European Union ergonomic standards, specifically with the DIN-EN_1335-1 regulation.

That’s it Chair has recently been awarded a 2022 Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.

It incorporates a seat with integrated mechanics and synchro movement. “The aluminum injection technology means the lightness of the material can be used to create outlines drawn in the air, as in the case of the armrests. This creates a 3D shape resulting in perfect ergonomics and a comfortable sitting experience for workers day after day, “explains the designer. “What was challenging about this project was designing an aluminum backrest and armrests using as little material as possible and, in turn, ensuring production efficiency. What’s more, new environmentally friendly metallic finishing systems were used.”

Every detail of the chair has been adjusted to strike the right balance between the subtlety of the design and the mechanical and functional stability sought. The definition of optimal upholstery solutions, in line with Quinti’s high standards of craftsmanship, required intensive research to come up with systems that would guarantee maximum ergonomic comfort.

Thus, all thicknesses were checked, section by section, to maintain the subtle aluminum aesthetics and with optimum fabric tension for comfort.

The backrest is fitted with a highly comfortable cushion, while the armrests come with various options and functionalities.
