Goal 152G Series Task Chair

Offering a full range of ergonomic adjustments and configurability, the Goal 152G Series Task Chair from Interstuhl is a versatile choice for large corporate offices as well as small business and home offices. The Goal 152G is a premium upholstered chair that features a synchronous movement of the seat back and seat pan which permits a user to lean back and achieve an open angle up to 120° at the hips while the seat pan only tilts upward by 10°.

The tension in the back rest can be adjusted to customize the level of counter resistance as the user leans back in the chair. The Goal features a height adjustable back with a depth-adjustable lumbar support. The seat pan can be adjusted for tilt (up to 4°) and depth (front to back) to allow users of all heights to benefit from a seat that is custom sized and optimally positioned.

The seat back and pan are upholstered in high quality fabric over supportive layers of breathable foam and cotton padding that provide optimal air flow, comfort and support. The seat fabric is high grade composite fabric (90% wool, 10% nylon) rated at 415 g/rm.

To allow users of all builds to meet their individual needs for arm support, the "4-D" armrests are adjustable for height, width (from the inner edge of the left armrest to the inner edge of the right armrest), depth (forward and backward) and pivot (20° to the left and right).

The upholstery on the Goal 152G Series Task Chair is available in anthracite grey or a dark blue/black mix. All chairs come with soft-surface double casters and a durable aluminum base powder-coated in brilliant silver.

• Premium Quality Upholstery: The Goal 152G is upholstered with firm supportive foam, cotton batting, and a long-wearing 90% Wool/10% Nylon blend fabric. This results in a highly breathable seat that will provide support for many years while standing up to the wear and tear of everyday use.
• Synchronous Mechanism: The Goal features a Synchronous Mechanism which enables a user to freely lean back in their chair. The movement permitted by the Synchronous mechanism can be used to avoid the potential risks of static sitting, even when remaining seated. It also enables users to adopt varying postures throughout the day, opening the torso angle up to 120°. For situations where the freedom of movement may interfere with work this feature can easily be "locked out" at 90° or at one of three additional leaning positions.
• Adjustable Resistance: The Synchronous movement on the Goal features adjustable resistance which can be set for the weight and comfort of each individual user. The adjustment range will cover users weighing from 100 - 286 lbs (45 - 130 kg).
• Synchronous Movement Lock Option: Users can choose to limit the range of movement on the Synchronous Mechanism by engaging the Lock function at one of 4 positions. This way they can change the degree of movement throughout the day and to best suit the nature of the particular task being undertaken at any time.
• Adjustable Lumbar Support: The Goal back rest has a firm, naturally contoured lumbar curve with a screw-operated internal pressure adjustment bar that offers about 0.75" of depth adjustment.
• Height Adjustable Back Rest: The entire backrest is height adjustable through a 3" range which provides 7 height settings between lumbar height adjustment between 6" and 9" above the seat pan.
• Load-Dependent Casters for Hard Floors: The Goal is equipped with soft 65 mm load-dependent casters for safety. This means that the chair will not roll away from the user when they stand up. These casters do not lock, they only exert just enough resistance so that the chair does not roll on its own when weight is removed, allowing users to re-position the chair with minimal effort. When the chair is occupied the brake fully disengages, permitting the user to move in the chair as required with no resistance.
• Tilting Seat: The Goal seat inclination adjustments of 0°, -2° and to -4°. The seat remains in correct alignment to the back regardless of the angle selected.
• Depth Adjustable Seat: The Goal is equipped with a sliding seat pan that offers a 2" adjustment range, from 16.1" to 18.1" deep.
• "Waterfall Front" Seatpan: The Goal is equipped with a "waterfall" front to reduce the risk of unnecessary pressure being exerted against the back of the thighs.
• Removable 4-D Armrests: The Goal features 4-D Armrests that are adjustable for height, width (from the inner edge of the left armrest to the inner edge of the right armrest), depth (forward and backward) and pivot (1 indexed point in or out). See "Specifications" below for detailed range of movement. If desired the armrests can easily be detached using a simple Allen key.
• Sturdy Base: The Goal 152G sits on a sturdy 5-point Aluminum base powder-coated in Brilliant Silver (see image in gallery).

• Adjust Seat Pan Tilt When Chair is Unoccupied - It is not advisable to attempt to adjust seat tilt while the chair is in use. The seat tilt adjustment is not intended to be performed under loaded conditions and damage can be done to the tilt adjustment mechanism.
• Adjust the Armrests to Match Your Build - Small users will want to position the rests closer to the back, larger users further from the back. Width and angle adjustments should be made to optimize comfort levels.
• Make a point of actively engaging with the Synchronous movement throughout the day. While you may choose to lock out this feature while performing specific tasks, to do so permanently will eliminate a key feature which makes this chair successful.
• Fine tune the resistance tension of the Synchronous Mechanism to match your comfort. Larger or heavier users will most likely prefer a higher degree of resistance than those of lighter or smaller build.
• Adjust the armrests to provide support when in a neutral position, with elbows resting comfortably at your sides and shoulders relaxed. The 4-D armrests are highly adjustable and can easily be repositioned when moving between task types.
• Adjust the seat pan depth to shorten or lengthen the seat pan to suit the length of your thighs. You want to have 1-2 finger widths between the back of your knees and the front of the seat pan.
• When adjusting the height of your Goal, aim for an elevation which lets your elbows open slightly more than 90° while your hands are resting on the keyboard or mouse. If your feet are unable to rest flat against the floor you may need to add a footrest to your workstation. If you are too low and the angle of your legs and torso is less than 90 then you should raise your chair to the appropriate level while also raising your input devices to a similarly appropriate height.
