Guest blog by Ozzie the Office Frog, Chief Morale Officer, OM Seating

Hello, OM friends! 🐸 It’s me, Ozzie, your friendly Chief Morale Officer, and today I’m beyond excited to talk about something very special – the newly redesigned OM5 task chair! Not only is it sleek, stylish, and, dare I say, hoppy, but it just snagged the Best of Neocon 2024 Innovation Award! 🎉 Let’s jump into why this chair is making waves (or ripples, if you’re like me, a lover of water and all things comfy).

A Chair that Thinks on its Own (Almost)

Ever sit down and think, “I wish this chair just knew how I like to sit”? Well, the OM5 does exactly that! No more fiddling with levers or paddles like you’re trying to land a plane (not that I’ve ever flown one, but you get the idea). The custom-created mechanism in the OM5 responds to your shifting weight intuitively, like it’s reading your mind. All you do is sit, and this chair does the rest – adjusting to your posture like it’s made just for you. If I could get a lily pad that did the same, I’d be set for life!

Options as Playful as Me

I love a good splash of color, and the OM5 Mesh Highback comes in not one, but eight playful colors. It’s like having a rainbow at your desk, and who doesn’t want a rainbow in their life? Plus, for those of you who like options (I see you, fellow chair enthusiasts), you can choose between two sizes: Midback or Executive Highback. Feeling fancy? Go for the Polyflex upholstered back for a little extra luxury. The variety is endless – kind of like the number of matcha lattes I can drink in a day!

Comfort, Tailored Just for You

Now, let’s talk about comfort – it’s what makes a frog’s workday go from good to great. The OM5 has 2.5 inches of adjustable seat depth, which means you can slide into the perfect position no matter your size. And get this – the seat is field-removable! You can swap it out without any tools. Just a quick switch, and you’re back to leaping along with a fresh seat. If only switching lily pads were this easy!

And if you’re like me and you care about your back (after all, a good posture keeps you spry for all that jumping), the OM5 comes with an optional bilateral lumbar system. This fancy-sounding feature independently adjusts to your back’s unique needs. So, whether you’re working hard or daydreaming about your next vacation to Venice, the OM5 has got your back – literally!

A Design Worth Celebrating

Oh, and did I mention that the OM5 was designed by none other than Francisco and Nadine Romero of Phidesign? These two really know how to create a chair that balances innovation with style. It’s no wonder this chair won the Best of Neocon 2024 Innovation Award. Bravo to Francisco, Nadine, and the whole team for this frogtastic design!

In Conclusion… Leap to It!

So, what are you waiting for? If you’re looking to upgrade your office game with a chair that’s smart, stylish, and as innovative as it is comfy, the OM5 task chair is calling your name. Trust me, as someone who knows a thing or two about finding the perfect perch, this chair is a real leap forward in seating technology!

Until next time, keep leaping in comfort! 🐸
