The Trea is a light task chair for spaces that need to look as good as they work — conference rooms, collaborative areas, and anyone who wants a chair that moves with them without a panel of adjustments. Designed by Todd Bracher. Red Dot Design Award winner. 15-year warranty.

Most chairs try to earn your confidence by looking complicated. The Trea goes the opposite direction.

Designed by Todd Bracher — Red Dot Design Award recipient — the Trea is a minimalist light task chair built for conference rooms, touch-down desks, and open offices that take aesthetics seriously. The solid-state recline gives you 12° of supported movement that adapts to your body weight automatically. No levers. No knobs. No adjustments.

The waterfall seat edge distributes pressure evenly across the thigh — one of those details you notice after an hour, not in the first five minutes. A greaseless pneumatic cylinder handles 360° swivel without the maintenance overhead of traditional cylinders.

Three base options: four-star task with casters, four-leg with glides, or stool with foot ring for elevated surfaces. Three seat fabrics: Black, Peacock, and Parma Red in Woven Corde4.

Planet Positive certified. KCOD delivers and installs in Kansas City. Questions? Call or Text: 816-360-9320.

Who Should NOT Choose the Trea Chair

Trea may not be ideal for users who need long-duration ergonomic task seating with full recline depth or advanced adjustability—those users may prefer the Humanscale Freedom or Liberty chairs.

Why Professionals Choose the Trea Chair

Professionals choose Trea for its elegant simplicity, effortless movement, and architectural design language that scales seamlessly across an entire workspace. The chair’s solid-state recline keeps users supported through natural shifts in posture, while its sculpted shell and optional seat pad deliver comfort that feels tailored without requiring adjustment.

As a unified seating family, Trea allows designers and organizations to maintain a consistent aesthetic from private offices to cafés, training rooms, lounges, and collaborative areas. Its durability, versatility, and award-winning design make it a trusted choice for commercial, hospitality, educational, and hybrid work environments.

Best for multipurpose settings, short-to-medium duration seating, and design-forward environments needing consistent styling across multiple spaces.

Premium ergonomic task seating with automatic recline, sculpted cushions, and optional headrest—ideal for long-duration work.

Liberty Chair:
Mesh-based task seating with Form-Sensing Mesh and exceptional breathability—ideal for shared desks, hybrid spaces, and lightweight task work.
