Okamura Contessa II

The Evolution of an Icon for the Workplace of Today and of Tomorrow
Since 2002, the Contessa has set the standard for seating in office spaces around the world, while appearing in movies such as “The Dark Knight” and “Infernal Affairs”. Now, she is reborn as the Contessa Seconda. Contessa Seconda unites the flowing, organic lines and charm of the original with new engineering and functionality.

Now in more color options for the mesh, fabric and frame, the Contessa II Seconda boasts further enhanced design and functionality to meet the demands of the modern work style.

Comfort | Luxury Evolved. So has Contessa.

Backrest

The backrest frame has been streamlined to create a slimmer aesthetic, with an increased flexibility that gently follows the natural movement of the body – without any sacrifice of support.

For added stability, the mesh seat frame is now constructed in a one-piece ring structure with soft edges, ensuring improved weight-distribution and comfort.

Okamura’s unique Multiple Density Cushion utilizes three types of urethane foam, of varying firmness layered together to promote healthy sitting. The cushion provides softer support at the front of the seat, reducing pressure on the thighs for improved circulation; denser cushioning at the back firmly supports the hips for stability and improved posture.

Ankle-Tilt Reclining

An ankle-tilt mechanism enables anyone to find his or her most comfortable reclining position. Using the ankle as a pivot point, this mechanism moves in sync with the seat, for greater support — stimulating variation in posture and relaxation, with uninterrupted comfort.

Adjustable Arms

Adjustable arms can be adjusted in four dimensions; height, depth, width and angle – enabling the most comfortable elbow support for the various tasks at hand.

Smart Operation Mechanism | A custom seating experience, at your fingertips.

Reclining Adjustment

Lock and unlock the backrest, alternating between a free recline and one of five pre-set tension gradations, all using the lever in the left armrest.

Seat Depth Adjustment

Adjustment of the seat’s depth, within a range of 50mm, is available using the levers beneath the seat.

Seat Height Adjustment

Adjust the chair height, within a range of 435 to 545 mm, using the lever in the right armrest.

Reclining Tension Adjustment

Choose from four tension adjustment pre-sets to suit any body shape and posture — all from a dial under the seat.

Color | Mesh, made even more beautiful

For years, Okamura has made beautiful, tactile mesh for its seating by interwining luxe-touch and stretchable, strong threads. Contessa Seconda features an upgraded mesh, that is more permeable and lighter in weight for the backrest, and a new luxe touch mesh for the seat. Modern colors and a new white-frame option make it even easier to coordinate with a wide variety of space.

Types | More options for today’s workspaces

Worldwide Presence | Besides supporting the backs of important workers in forward thinking firms, the Contessa has appeared in numerous international firms, exhibitions and has been seen at the office of the President of the United States to depict the design and performance of modern ergonomics.
