ofinto combines premium quality and first-class ergonomics with the simplicity and flexibility of the internet. Instead of a multitude of models and options, we offer only two chairs - and both with high-quality full features. In this blog post, we explain how the two ofinto swivel chairs differ.

But what are the differences between the two ofinto chairs? The easiest way to show the differences between the two ergonomic office chairs is to look at three categories:

• Materiality & Design
• Ergonomics & Functions
• Price / Performance

In this article, we compare the ofinto Active with the ofinto Ergo based on these three categories.

The foot cross and the lower part of the backrest are made of high-quality aluminum. In the black edition ofinto Active the aluminum has a noble silver brushed finish. In the white edition, a high-quality powder coating hides the aluminum behind the modern design. In both, the aluminum provides a noble look and guarantees a very high durability:

CONCLUSION: The ofinto Active is the chair of the extra class. The carefully selected high-quality materials as well as the noble design make this premium office chair a real eye-catcher in any office.

Of course, the materiality of the ofinto Ergo is not to be neglected either. For example, the soft mesh back cover ensures that the backrest adapts ideally to your back and that the chair remains pleasantly breathable even in summer:

CONCLUSION: The Ergo impresses with a light design. Its simple shape fits well into any home office and modern offices without taking up much space.

The differences in the ergonomics of our two ofinto chairs are subtle but not insignificant. They mainly concern the mechanics of the chairs. The mechanics of an office chair is a central element for its ergonomics.

Both ofinto chairs have a high-quality synchronous mechanism. The synchronous mechanism is the basis for ergonomic sitting. When leaning back, the backrest tilts backwards. At the same time, the seat also tilts slightly, ensuring an ideal hip angle that follows the natural movement of the body.

Even though both ofinto chairs have a synchronous mechanism, it is still different:

The mechanism of the ofinto Ergo is not a conventional synchronous mechanism but an auto-synchronous mechanism. This mechanism automatically adjusts its resistance to the body weight of the person sitting when leaning back. This means that the chair is always automatically perfectly adjusted for every user.

The advantage: you do not have to adjust your chair in a long and complicated way - it does it for you automatically.

The mechanism of the ofinto Active is not a standard synchronous mechanism either; it too has the ability to regulate the seat resistance. Unlike the ofinto Ergo , however, it is not the chair that determines the resistance but you: the ofinto Active 's synchronous mechanism can be individually set to four different resistance levels. This allows you to set up the resistance to suit your personal taste.

The advantage: You determine how strong the resistance should be; exactly the way you like it.

The ofinto Active also offers the option of replacing the synchronized mechanism with a seat tilt function. seat tilt function function. The seat tilt function causes the seat to tilt slightly forward by around 4°. This results in the hips being in a more natural and healthy position. An inclined sitting posture encourages active and dynamic sitting, which improves blood flow to the intervertebral discs and prevents back pain. Many users also find a slightly inclined sitting position more comfortable. If required, the seat tilt function can be switched on and off at any time using a simple lever under the seat.

The benefit: SItting with a more natural and healthier sitting posture that prevents back pain and promotes active sitting.

Both ofinto chairs are ergonomic front-runners and have all the important and necessary ergonomic features. Neither with the ofinto Active nor with the ofinto Ergo do you compromise on ergonomics: Either way, you buy a top-equipped chair that guarantees relaxed healthy sitting.
