Fern Ergonomic Office Chair

CHF 1,750.00

The Fern chair doesn't adjust to you — it moves with you.

Haworth's patented Wave Suspension technology distributes support across a flexible mesh back structure that responds in real time as you shift, lean, and reposition throughout the day. There are no knobs to turn, no levers to pull. The Fern reads your movement and adapts.

The mesh back is precision-engineered for breathability: airflow through the seat and back maintains a consistent working temperature across hours of continuous use — the kind of sustained comfort that cheaper alternatives can't replicate.

Recognised by Wirecutter, Wired, and TechRadar as one of the best ergonomic office chairs available, the Fern has earned its reputation through performance rather than specification sheets. It's the chair that convinces sceptics — people who've never thought twice about their desk chair until they sat in a Fern.

Designed for all-day use in professional environments and home offices alike.

Science + Design — engineered into every Fern.

Is it for me?

Fern provides integrated lumbar support because the backrest has been designed to mimic the natural curvature of the spine. The standard backrest is enough back support for most people. An additional lumbar support option is available if you would like extra support. (Note that the additional lumbar support is height adjustable, but its firmness cannot be adjusted.)

We play favorites. And Fern is one.

Comfort Study Winner

An independent ergonomics consulting firm evaluated four task chairs: Fern and three competitors. Each chair was pressure-map tested for its ability to flex and support users in five postures that are common while working. The clear winner? Fern, reported “most comfortable” by all.

Indoor Advantage Gold Certified

Fern is independently tested to be free from over 10,000 chemicals to help contribute to cleaner air in your home. It’s considered the most stringent standard for ensuring products are low in VOC emissions, which can lead to healthier indoor environments. Short for volatile organic compounds, VOCs are chemicals emitted as gasses into the air. The most common exposure is in our homes.

Patented 3-Part System

We took cues from the flexibility of a fern leaf to design this chair’s exclusive three-part system — and it’s a total innovation in human body support. Fern’s stem, fronds, and cradle work in harmony to support every flex, twist, and motion you use through the day.

Comoda e facile da regolare

La sedia è comoda la qualità si percepisce e trovare la regolazione giusta è facile e veloce. Adeguata ad un uso di molte ore al giorno. Sento un po' la mancanza del poggiatesta.

Chaise hyper confortable !

Le soutien lombaire (avec l'ajout supplémentaire) est le meilleur que j'ai pu essayer, j'en suis ravi avec mes problèmes de dos (hernies discales). J'ai rajouté un atlas headrest, c'est le top !

Fantastic Chair! Somehow packaged worse than anything I've ever bought.

Thoroughly happy with my purchase, the chair is amazing, my back is finally happy. I have to compliment the design strength and materials used - the chair was packaged in an extremely lackluster manner, completely unsecured for transport, with absolutely no protection inside of the box. It wasn't wrapped in anything. The chair was just thrown "naked" into an empty cardboard box, and all of it's parts were just flying around unsecured during transport. And somehow, the chair is completely fine, not even a single scratch in sight. It's a seriously well built chair, compliments to the chef. Comfort is out of this world. Looks are great. While the armrests are not as solid as one would like, they are still a big upgrade from any regular office chair. They are also extremely nice to the touch, the materials are great, I actually really love them despite the wobbling. The chair's base sometimes makes funny noises though, and the recline motion has a small but perceptible bump at the start of it's motion, which makes me question the longevity and MSRP... Glad I bought it on a discount, is what I'm saying. My neighbor's similar chair from a competing brand definitely feels more... sturdy, like it will last forever, and this doesn't - but his chair is way more expensive, so there's that. And, well, just look at the Fern - it's a beautiful chair. Just looking at it makes me smile. :)
