KI's New Strive Seating Family

The Strive seating collection from KI is a family of simple, elegant, comfortable chair designs. KI and Giancarlo Piretti, the world famous Italian furniture designer, have applied a consistent design language throughout the collection of stacking chairs, cafe stools, nesting chairs, task chairs, task stools and fixed seating available in a choice of 18 polypropylene colours. All have a unique, flexible back with a wire rod moulded into the polypropylene to encourage movement and relaxation. The back curve provides lateral support and the contoured seat dissipates pressure points. Strive has a ten year warranty, is GREENGUARD certified for LEED accreditation and is ideal for providing solutions for business, education and healthcare sectors.

KI and Giancarlo Piretti have been working together on designs, focusing on bringing comfort to the widest possible audience at an affordable cost.
