Fern Named Mens Journal Gear of the Year

April 27, 2026 – Recognized for its striking visuals and functionality, Haworth’s Fern office chair has been named to Men’s Journal Gear of the Year for 2026. After testing hundreds of new products across categories, the Men’s Journal editorial team selected Fern as one of the game-changers.

Noted for its highly customizable materials and finish, Fern’s adjustable lumbar support, 4D armrests and finely tuned position adjustments earned praise. Its quiet and gradual recline mechanism, with ideal spring-back and firm spinal support, was rated ideal for work-from-home environments.

Fern sets a new standard in ergonomic seating. With its stem-based design, edgeless back, and wave suspension system, the chair flexes with every shift and stretch. More information and personalized options can be found here.
