EVO Japan 2023] Steelcase Booth Report: The Best Chair for All Mankind!

Event

EVO Japan 2023, a fighting game festival, has finally started and this time we will report from the booth of Steelcase, a work chair brand that is providing official chairs for the event as a partner of EVO Japan 2023. Steelcase is the official work chair partner of EVO Japan 2023!





Steelcase has created the best chair, and it's perfect for gamers!

Chairs are indispensable for both work and gaming. That is why it is natural to want a high-quality product that is stress-free to use. In recent years, "gaming chairs" have been gaining recognition and support even among those who do not play games.


Steelcase, the office furniture manufacturer that is providing official chairs for EVO Japan 2023 as a partner, is developing a " work chair " rather than a gaming chair.

We asked Jason Coskun of Steelcase Japan about the work chairs on display!

The armrests can be freely angled, up, down, left, and right.

They can be slightly inward when using a controller or smartphone, and shoulder-width apart when using a keyboard or mouse.


We originally developed it as a work chair, " says Jason Coskun, " but when we added features to make it easier to use, it naturally became a gamer's chair as well.

The position of the chair remains the same, but only the seat can be moved back and forth. This is helpful because some people sit shallow and some sit deep. Personally, I thought it would be a good idea to use it differently when I was leaning forward to play e-sports and when I was relaxing to watch a movie.

The headrest is integrated, but can be disabled by snapping it back!

Our editorial staff was very interested in the product.

At the booth, we were able to actually experience a Steelcase work chair. The chair is so comfortable that you can feel it adjusting to your body within seconds. It soothed us, who were a little tired from all the walking we had done for the interview.


The "Gesture (with headrest)" work chair we experienced this time is a high-end product with a list price of 204,980 yen, but it comes with an amazing 12-year warranty! The chair is delivered fully assembled after ordering, making it a good choice for people who live alone and have difficulty assembling a gaming chair.
