Cachet Chair

The Cachet Chair is an ergonomically correct office chair produced by Steelcase in 2002, and designed by Peter Jon Pearce. The Cachet Chair was a winner of the "Industrial Design Excellence Award" by the Industrial Design Society of America, and chosen by Architectural Record Magazine and International Design Magazine for notable design features.
The start to finish design process was published by the Industrial Design Society of America detailing the new concepts in materials, construction, and design process. The chair is constructed of glass filled nylon & polypropylene with the design centered on the principles of physics, which are responsible for the support, and balance. The chair uses a suspension system consisting of torsion springs made from thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) and will flex, recline, and move, with whomever is sitting in it, regardless of their physical stature. The swivel base caster and stackable chairs were conceived to help increase employee productivity by replacing uncomfortable common area seating in the typical work environment and providing proper spinal column support. They are used in conference rooms, and small or large venue seating areas, where employees frequently sit throBold textughout the day when they are away from their desk. The Cachet chair has 38 issued and pending patents worldwide.
On January 25, 2011, the Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a voluntary recall on chairs with the model number 487, made between May 2002 and Oct. 15, 2009, after the company received one report of a chair support failure, due to cracks in the front seat support, resulting in a back injury.
