Accolade Guest Chair

Responsive Recline

Accolade surprises and delights with its new take on guest and lounge seating. Its patented Recline is an ingenious, weight-responsive design: the base of the chair responds to your posture and shifts accordingly. Accolade lets you recline without manual adjustments, blending subtle functionality into the elegant form of the chair.

The Story Behind Accolade

Giancarlo Piretti believed in designing for comfort. His rationalist approach suggested visual simplicity while embracing innovative approaches to motion. In various chairs, he embedded mechanics into the structure, creating unexpectedly comfortable experiences. After his passing, Haworth Design Studio and Piretti’s son, Alessandro, brought Giancarlo’s design to life with Accolade—a contemporary chair that reclines as people sit and adjust their posture.
