Unexpected Motion

Accolade brings natural movement to guest and lounge seating with Responsive Recline, a patented system discreetly built into the chair’s sleek base. It responds to your weight and posture as you move, providing comfort and support without manual adjustments or visible mechanisms.

A Legacy of Movement

Giancarlo Piretty believed comfort and movement should feel effortless. Throughout his career, he explored ways to integrate mechanics directly into the structure of a chair, creating intuitive movement without compromising visual simplicity.

Accolade carries that philosophy forward. Following Giancarlo’s passing, Haworth Design Studio worked with his son, Alessandro, to bring his design to life—a refined, contemporary chair that responds naturally as people sit, move, and change posture.
