Need help?Do you have a question about the Teknion NUOVA CONTESSA and is the answer not in the manual?
The Nuova Contessa chair is an ergonomic seating solution designed to provide a high degree of adjustability for personalized comfort and support. This manual outlines the various features and their operation, ensuring users can optimize their seating experience.
The chair's seat height can be easily adjusted to suit individual user preferences and desk heights. To lower the seat, locate the lever positioned at the front of the right armrest. Lifting this lever while seated will engage the lowering mechanism, allowing the user's body weight to bring the seat down. Releasing the lever at the desired height will lock the seat in place. Conversely, to raise the seat, lift the same lever while standing or with no weight applied to the seat. The seat will then ascend to its maximum height or can be stopped at any point by releasing the lever. This intuitive mechanism ensures a smooth and effortless adjustment process, promoting proper ergonomic posture.
The Nuova Contessa chair offers a back tilt adjustment feature, allowing users to recline and find their preferred angle of support. To lock the chair back in a specific position, press the lever once when the back is at the desired angle. This will secure the backrest, providing stable support. If the user wishes to free the chair back and allow it to recline or move, simply press the lever again. This functionality enables dynamic seating, promoting movement and reducing static load on the spine, or provides a fixed, supportive recline for focused work or relaxation.
The chair's 4D armrests are designed for comprehensive adjustability, catering to a wide range of body types and tasks.
Arm Width Adjustment: To adjust the width of the armrests, grasp the arm pads on both sides and push them either to the left or to the right. This allows users to position the armrests closer or further apart, ensuring comfortable support for the arms and shoulders, and facilitating proximity to the workstation.
Arm Pivot Adjustment: The arm pads can be simultaneously pivoted inward or outward to achieve the desired angle. This feature is particularly useful for supporting the arms during various tasks, such as typing, writing, or using a mouse, by aligning the armrests with the natural angle of the forearms.
Arm Depth Adjustment: To control the depth of the arm pads, simply grab the pad and slide it forward or backward. This allows users to extend or retract the armrests, providing optimal forearm support and ensuring that the elbows are at a comfortable angle relative to the keyboard or desk.
Arm Height Adjustment: The height of the armrests can be adjusted by pressing the button located below either armrest. Pressing this button will release the locking mechanism, allowing the armrest to be raised or lowered to the desired position. Releasing the button will lock the armrest in place. Proper armrest height helps to maintain a neutral shoulder and wrist posture, reducing strain and fatigue.
These multi-dimensional adjustments ensure that the armrests can be precisely configured to support the user's arms and shoulders in a variety of working postures, contributing significantly to overall ergonomic comfort.
The Nuova Contessa chair incorporates a lumbar height adjustment feature to provide tailored support for the lower back. The lumbar height-adjustment levers are conveniently located on either side of the chair back frame. Users can adjust the height of the lumbar support by simply sliding it up or down. This allows for precise positioning of the lumbar support to match the natural curve of the user's spine, promoting healthy posture and reducing discomfort. The lumbar support is designed to respond uniquely to the user's back curve depth and applied pressure, offering personalized and dynamic support throughout the day.
The back tension adjustment feature allows users to control the resistance of the chair's recline mechanism. Located under the right side of the seat, a turning grip enables the user to limit the back tilt travel and lock the back in position. Turning this grip adjusts the tension, making the recline easier or more resistant. The back tilt travel is limited to three distinct positions when the back lock is engaged in the upright position. This feature allows users to customize the recline experience, providing either a free-flowing recline for dynamic movement or a more controlled and supportive recline for specific tasks.
The chair's seat depth can be adjusted to accommodate different leg lengths, ensuring proper thigh support and circulation. To adjust the seat depth, lift the slide levers located under both sides of the seat. Once the levers are lifted, the seat can be slid forwards or backwards to the desired position. Releasing the levers will lock the seat in place. Correct seat depth ensures that the user's back is fully supported by the backrest while leaving a small gap between the edge of the seat and the back of the knees, preventing pressure on the popliteal area and promoting healthy blood flow to the legs.
The Nuova Contessa chair is designed with a comprehensive suite of adjustments to provide an optimal ergonomic experience. Each feature is intuitively designed for ease of use, allowing individuals to customize their seating to meet their unique needs for comfort, support, and productivity. Regular adjustment of these features is recommended to maintain proper posture and maximize the benefits of this advanced ergonomic chair.
