RIYA, with its organic, rounded shapes and softly flowing lines, offers a refreshing counterpoint to the standard technological form of most task seating systems. RIYA helps people to concentrate better and be more creative as a key element in a humane and open working culture. It offers a human touch in any area of the contemporary workplace. Its intuitive functions are not obtrusive, but easily and discreetly accessible. Its various controls offer visual and haptic signals that make it easy to use.
