Mila now available

Today, 9to5 Seating announced the all-new Mila, an intelligent seating solution for conference, executive and task seating.

Mila makes ergonomic adjustment easy, with a simple mechanism that automatically adapts to each user’s weight, and fingertip levers that adjust height and back tilt.  The elegant contoured aluminum frame encircles the seat and back and hides the control.  The arms are finished with urethane pads that are soft to the touch.

“Mila is truly a feat of design, engineering, and craftsmanship.  It’s sculpture in motion – eye-catching from every angle,” said Dara Mir, President of 9to5 Seating.  “With its simple, intuitive adjustments and superior comfort, it’s a chair for everyone.”

Mila Key Features:

  • Integrated weight-balanced control that adjusts to each user
  • Exceptional seat comfort made possible by engineered flex zones
  • Distinctive sculpted aluminum frame that wraps around the back, arms, and seat
  • Available in a mesh back with a soft touch back frame or a sleek upholstered back with a thin profile

Starting at $945 list for the mesh back and $995 list for the upholstered back, Mila comes standard with an aluminum base in polished or silver finishes.  It is orderable through the 9to5 Seating contract dealer network.  Mila is GREENGUARD Gold and BIFMA LEVEL certified.

The classic, sophisticated design of the bestselling Lilly lounge collection makes it an easy fit for any design. The versatility from its multiple base options and lightweight frame make it an ideal fit for collaborative and public spaces.

Luna’s signature polished aluminum accents make a striking visual impression, while its full set of ergonomic features make it a standout task chair. Luna is available with a standard seat slider, multiple controls (including weight balanced and synchro), adjustable 4-way arms, and an adjustable lumbar.
