Fern Ergonomic Office Chair

£1,190.00

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.

This UK variant of the Fern carries FIRA certification — an independent assessment by the Furniture Industry Research Association that validates ergonomic performance, safety, and durability to British and European standards. For organisations with DSE (Display Screen Equipment) compliance requirements, FIRA certification provides robust, independent evidence that the chair performs as specified and meets the expected standards for employee workstation assessments.

Recognised by Wirecutter, Wired, and TechRadar as one of the best ergonomic office chairs available. Designed for all-day use in professional environments and home offices. Available exclusively via Haworth's UK webshop.

Science + Design — independently certified for the UK workplace.

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.

Disappointed

The chair looks cool with a lot of aluminum and premium materials. The fabric feels high-quality and the chair is heavy, which gives it a sturdy feel. However, the armrests are very poor quality: they are hard to adjust, don't move smoothly, and make a lot of noise. The difficulties with the armrests make the overall experience very unpleasant. For an office chair at this price, it’s not acceptable.

Really satisfied

That was a scary big sum to pay, as a debuting freelancer, but it's an important investement for my health. My back is still a bit sore, but after 2 weeks of use most of my chronic back pain is gone !! The chair is pretty comfortable, the rolling is very satisfying with the weight of the chair, and I find the design elegant but not on the nose.
