Pro by Konstantin Grcic is a unique piece of school furniture that takes into account the lifestyle of children as well as the proven fact that they concentrate better in school when allowed and even encouraged to move around. Sitting still for hours on end can feel like slow torture, especially to an ever-growing body.
To compensate for this and more, Pro by Konstantin Grcic has been designed to ergonomically support a full range of seating positions. Its simplistic aesthetic features a rounded seat to force a better posture, curved backrest for more lumbar support and a lip at the top that a person can rest their head, arm or even legs on. Made out of polypropylene, it is lightweight, recyclable and low in cost.
