-
-
-
- Stackable office chairs are easy to store but too often tough
- on the tush. Now comes the Perry chair, whose makers claim comfort
- need no longer be sacrificed for convenience. Created by
- sculptor, architect and designer Charles Perry, the chair has
- a single-piece steel frame that flexes backward and forward,
- while its polypropylene seat hangs from the lower backrest so
- the sitter's weight counterbalances the tilting pressure on the
- upper backrest. Result: a user-friendly seat that can be stacked
- 25 high.
-
- The Perry chair is manufactured by Krueger International
- of Green Bay, Wis., which has been making seating for 50 years.
- Perry's design lists for around $125, depending on the model and
- quantity. Krueger has sold 6,000 Perry chairs in the past eight
- months, proving that if you build a better stackable chair,
- companies will sit down and take notice.
