Fern Ergonomic Office Chair

€1.390,00  €970,00

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.

How Fern makes itself at home

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.

Overall inlove with this chair

Loved the chair, looks stable and made of good materials. I had slide issue with assembly caused by me, but the team replied quickly sending me a video on how to fix it. The chair is very comfortable, the only slight issue I have with it is the material used on the seat which can be a bit rough if you have more sensitive skin, however it is not something that causes flair ups, just slightly scratches the skin - not worth to take a star away for that as I know it is mostly how I feel and 9 out of 10 people won't have this problem. Highly recommend this chair. There is many options to make it fit your posture and preferences.

Amazing Chair, Amazing Support

The chair is incredibly sleek, well-designed, and genuinely fantastic to work in. I use it for around eight hours a day, and it remains extremely comfortable throughout. The backrest almost feels like it hugs and supports you, naturally keeping you in a comfortable, ergonomic posture without feeling restrictive.

Massive props as well to Shrija P from the E-commerce team, who was incredibly helpful in making sure I chose the right chair. Overall, I’m extremely happy with the Haworth Fern and would absolutely recommend it.
