Built upon decades of seating expertise and 5.5 billion data points, Breck is a simple, intuitive and responsive task chair, epitomizing efficiency and comfort. A new caliber for high-quality seating, all Breck models feature standard premium specifications: 4-dimensional arm positions, adjustable lumbar support and seat pan depth along with synchronized tilt with a weight-activated 3-position backstop. Breck is an inviting, easy-to-use seating solution that accommodates a range of body types and a variety of tasks—without complicated adjustments.

Breck is the perfect blend of simple efficiency and smart ergonomics. Its innovative petal-shaped GeoStretch back with targeted flex zones provides the right amount of support where you need it, while the weight-activated mechanism easily responds to the way you sit and recline. The GeoStretch pattern offers three zones of support and has the optimal ratio of back suspension for ergonomic comfort.

Available in six carefully curated on-trend colors and as a task seat or stool, Breck’s beautiful, smartly efficient design allows it to furnish seamlessly for both personal and commercial office settings. With a range of upholstery choices and black or snow trim options, Breck complements any space. Breck’s smooth, durable material also allows for cleanability in settings like healthcare and education.

Constructed using Haworth’s Circular Design Philosophy, Breck is made from 58% recycled content and is 94% recyclable at end of life as well as being a part of Haworth’s take back program. This task chair is BIFMA level 3 certified, manufactured in ISO 14001, zero landfill facility and is GREENGUARD Gold Certified, a best-in-class certification in low carbon footprint (just 55.6 kg CO2 e). Breck complies with Haworth’s ‘banned list’, eliminating the use of 52 problematic chemicals. Breck ships in compact packing – each box is just a third of the size compared to other chairs, which translates to 300% greater shipping capacity per truckload and improved fuel efficiency. Each chair is lightweight at just 30 pounds and its four pieces can be assembled in less than one minute without the use of tools.
