To say that mesh office chairs are the latest thing in office equipment would be somewhat of a misnomer. The form of the mesh chair has been around since the late 1870s when Michael Thonet created his famous caned seated and backed rocking chairs. The same principles that made the famous rockers so popular in the 19th century are now applied to make mesh office chairs extremely versatile in today’s working environment.

The popularity of these chairs is owed to its main feature that being of course a mesh seat and back. Using high tech materials, as opposed to wooden caning, these chairs have a durable comfortable platform. And, as with the Thonet rocker, the open spaces in the weave allow air to enter and cool the user. This is especially important for people in the modern office who often are at their station for several hours at a time. When properly strung mesh fabric is used in office chairs it really is comfortable and offers superior back support.
