Onda is an exceptional workday chair within an all-mesh form. Its mesh is 4-way stretch elastomeric mesh designed to achieve optimal breathability between the seat and back. Its captivating aesthetic and cool comfort make it a perfect solution for open office, home office, private office and breakout areas. It is offered at regular chair heights, a tall stool height and an extra tall stool height with a wide range of height positioning for essential personalization.
In addition to regular mesh, Onda is also offered with Via Seating’s proprietary, patented, copper-infused mesh. Onda is the only copper-infused, all-mesh, contract grade furniture chair on the market. Its copper utilizes a natural (0 additives), oligodynamic effect, which starts destroying harmful microorganisms including covid-19 upon contact. The copper is a biocidal, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-odor solution, which doesn’t harm the environment or the chair user like many topically applied antimicrobial products. Also, unlike topical applications, the strategically infused copper will not wear off in time.
The copper-infused solutions expand the use of Onda to healthcare and other environments with intensive and essential cleaning policies. It offers a perfect, trustworthy seating solution for healthcare professionals both on the go, in and out of the chair, and in administrative areas.
