We aren’t made to sit still: movement and variation are essential for creativity and wellbeing. EGO provides movement and variation through the Labofa Action System. …also when seated.Labofa Action System: Labofa Action System Advanced technology - the Action System: 1. Open, active sitting angle 2. Seat angle and back rest adjustment are independent. 3.
