Below are Style Ergonomics Australia’s business resources which contribute towards ensuring our business sustainability…
Here at Style Ergonomics our philosophy when designing or sourcing products is to maximize comfort, safety and ergonomics, we have an extensive range of Task, Clerical, Executive and Contract office chairs offering the user a wide range of contemporary and traditional designs rich with unique features.
Ergonomics commonly refers to designing work environments for maximizing safety, comfort and efficiency in the work place. An ergonomic chair must be highly adjustable to accommodate many different types of people performing various tasks, our range of chairs combine a very high quality finish, an extraordinary design and a wide range of ergonomic adjustments suitable for various operators, unique applications and multi work environments.
Our mission is to manufacture the best value ergonomic seating, to develop and nurture long term partnerships with our customers and suppliers and to enhance the lives of our valued employees by providing them with a rewarding and respectful work environment.

Seat Height Control
To maximise comfort and correct posture the user should ensure that his/her feet are flat on the floor surface, upper thighs parallel to floor, knees as high as hips or lower and the keyboard at elbow height. To adjust the seat height use the front cable controlled lever attached to the right hand side of seat, move lever backwards to unlock, once the appropriate individual work height is set then release to lock in position.
Note: Must be out of chair while raising the height
Height Adjustable Arms
Adjustable arms are designed to suit multi users, allowing the individual operator to set the arm height at a comfortable level to his/her requirements, if set to high the result is elevated shoulders and pressure on the underside of the elbows and forearms.
If set to low this will cause the user to either slump in the chair or lean to one side for support. The correct position is to have the work surface at elbow height.
Simply lift the trigger attached to the outside of the arm raise the arm to the right height then release trigger.
Seat Depth Control
This function is to maximise comfort and lower thigh support to operators regardless of their height, so therefore position the front curve of the chair seat on the underside of the thighs.
To adjust seat depth use the back cable controlled lever attached to the front right section of the seat, simply move backwards to unlock, slide seat pan depth to desired position once the depth is set move lever forward to lock.
Polyurethane Arm Pads
These potentially avoid uncomfortable pressure on the undersides of the forearms and elbows with an adjustable swivel option to suit the individual operator.
The swivel action keeps the armrests out of the way during typing or other activities requiring free motion.
Back Recline or Tilt
Ergo chairs feature a synchro recline motion with an option of three fixed positions and a personalised gravity weight tension control. This feature changes the angle of the entire seat relative to the floor accompanied by a unique synchro mechanism allowing the back and seat to move constantly and freely in relation for correct support in all positions.
To adjust the angle of the back, use the front cable controlled lever attached to the left hand side of seat, move lever forward to unlock, once back angle is in the desired position move backwards to lock. Both chairs have an anti shock release this safety feature prevents the back from automatically returning upright whilst unlocking the chair in the backward position, the user is forced to apply pressure by leaning back in the chair in order to release.
To adjust relation of bodyweight to mechanism synchro activity, wind the knob located on the right hand side of chair clockwise for more tension and anti clockwise for less.
Backrest Control
This feature accommodates preferences by different workers regarding where and how the lumbar support curve contacts the back. The Ergo has a unique active lumbar with a permanent flexible support that floats in line with the Operator.
To adjust back height and active lumbar support use both switches located on the back, simply push in and raise to the desired height then release. Repeat process to lower the height.
Head Rest
This potentially avoids uncomfortable pressures on the neck and shoulders, to adjust hold headrest while seated, then raise or lower to the desired height.
Coat Hanger
Allows the user to hang their coat away from the back of the chair.

The term ergonomics comes from the Greek words ergos meaning “work” and nomos, meaning “study of” or “natural laws of.” The science of ergonomics dates back to the 1940s, but only in the past decade has it become a commonly known term. This is due to the recent epidemic of office-related injuries and the large body of equipment and information designed to solve these problems.
Modern-day office ergonomics is the science of providing furniture, tools, and equipment that improve the comfort, safety, and health of the office worker. We are not ergonomic experts, but we have studied the literature on the subject and there seem to be some basic principles to which most professionals agree.
