For our latest competition, we've collaborated with global furniture brand Steelcase to offer Dezeen readers the chance to win one of the company’s newest ergonomic office chairs.

This competition is now closed.

By entering, one lucky reader will win a Steelcase Karman chair with a dark grey Merle frame and a blue-red mesh seat, which has an iridescent purple hue.

According to the brand, Steelcase Karman is one of the lightest office chairs on the market, weighing in at 13 kilograms. It combines a lightweight plastic frame with breathable mesh for the seat and backrest.

The proprietary mesh, named Intermix, is specific to the chairs and comes in a selection of colourways that have a translucent, multi-coloured finish.

The chair also includes a suspension seat and uses Liveback technology – a geometric feature that allows the backrest to adjust and mimic the natural movements of the spine to support a healthy posture.

"The suspension seat with integrated cushioning provides maximum comfort for as long as you sit," said Steelcase.

"The ultra-light frame flexes to eliminate painful pressure points common in other mesh chairs."

A comfort dial situated beneath the seat allows users to switch between four reclining positions and adjust the resistance. Rotating arms can be placed in a range of positions that enhance elbow support.

The chair was made from a minimal number of components, with the aim of reducing its impact on the environment during the manufacturing process.

"By using minimal resources, Steelcase Karman reduces its impact on the earth, delivering a holistic approach to sustainability while supporting our carbon commitments," said the brand.

Steelcase was founded in 1912 and is headquartered in Grand Rapids, USA. The company specialises in the design and manufacturing of office furniture for both home offices and workplaces.

In the 100-plus years since its establishment, Steelcase has collaborated with names including the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and Microsoft.

This competition is open from 18 March until 15 April 2024. Terms and conditions apply. Entrants must be based in Europe, the Middle East or Africa. One reader will win a Steelcase Karman office chair with a Merle frame and a red-blue mesh seat. The winner will be selected at random and notified by email.
