The ID Chair brings a subtle, elegant design to office spaces – and provides countless possibilities for people to adapt it to their own individual needs in terms of function, comfort and look. The innovative ergonomic seat tilt design reduces the ability of staff to sit in a poor posture. All design versions are based on the same technical and aesthetic vision. In addition to having a positive impact on the overall appearance of an office environment, this is also an invaluable help when it comes to maintenance and service. The ID Chair Concept empowers companies and their employees to define their seating to suit their own personal identity whilst ensuring good posture.

Beaver Green Primary School successfully Installed

Portsdowns successful installation of Beaver Green School has lead to the following glowing reference from the client:

“Portsdown have exceeded our expectations, they are extremely professional and knowledgeable in the work they undertake and the service they provide. For our school this was a big project and we have been helped every step of the why by efficient and personable Portsdown staff.

Having given Portsdown a brief of the environment and atmosphere we wanted to create for our new school, they introduced us to products, suppliers and ideas that we would never have thought of. We have not been disappointed with any product that has been suggested and they all look fabulous in our new building.

All deadlines have been met and no query is too small. Our named contact has regularly visited us and any queries have been dealt with in a timely and efficient manor. Any issues that have arisen have been resolved quickly, we have always been made aware, consulted and kept fully informed of any changes that have needed to be made.

Portsdown customer service is fantastic! From the very first meeting, to the regular consultation site meetings, the showroom visits, the mood boards, product book and floor plans provided; to the organising of the installation and finally to the guys that install the products.

I would thoroughly recommend Portsdown, they have been great to work with and they have lightened the load for us. The service they have provided has enabled us to continue running a very busy school, through a very difficult building project. I wish all the other firms involved with our project had been so great!“ Sasha Gooding

The NEW Vitra ID operator chair with a revolutionary design is now available from Portsdown. Health and biomechanics – The patented technology behind the ID Chair caters to healthy, comfortable seating. The synchronous mechanism “FlowMotion” supports users according to their personal weight – but not just when they are leaning back in their chair: The so-called negative tilt feature straightens the spine when sitting forward on the edge of the seat, thereby taking the strain off of it. The ID Chair enables a dynamic range of motion and provides support with individual resistance when tilting both backwards and forwards. Please login to request a Vitra ID chair brochure.
