THE MOST ADVANCED ERGONOMICS

Sitting still is particularly unhealthy and very uncomfortable. The knobs and levers on traditional task chairs have kept people sitting still for decades.


Freedom changed that.

THE INNOVATION THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING

With a career spanning more than 50 years, industrial designer Niels Diffrient revolutionized the world of design by focusing on the human experience. Diffrient was known for creating products that clearly embodied his beliefs of solving functional problems as simply and elegantly as possible, resulting in honest, timeless forms. In developing the Freedom series, Niels Diffrient replaced the locks, knobs and springs that are under older generation chairs with your body weight and the laws of physics so you can move effortlessly from one position to another, making it feel as if the chair were custom-made for you or whoever happens to be sitting in it at any given moment.

SYNCHRONOUS ARMS

Freedom's innovative synchronous arms are designed to allow you to effortlessly change your arm support with one hand.

DYNAMIC HEADREST

Freedom Headrest dynamically supports the head and neck as users recline. It moves with the sitter for seamless comfort in any position, no manual adjustments needed.

DESIGNED BY NIELS DIFFRIENT

Recognized as the father of ergonomics, legendary designer Niels Diffrient focused on the human experience to inspire innovative products. He revolutionised task seating by inventing a chair that adjusts the the sitter, rather than making the sitter adjust to the chair.

ABOUT US >

WJ Office has seen many changes since we opened our doors in 1976. Our president, Neville Chaney, started out when electric typewriters were the rage and you could only get supplies from mail order catalogs. Most businesses didn’t have computers either—only the top corporations could afford them.

​

But even in those days, businesses recognized the need for great customer service. WJ Office has always paid close attention to the needs and requests of our clients. We’ve expanded our offerings over time in response to those evolving needs. When PCs came out, we started offering computer furniture. â€‹

​

Our focus on innovation has enabled us to continue growing over the years. In the beginning, we had three employees in a 1,100 square foot building. Today, we have multiple offices spread throughout North Carolina. Competitors, from local rivals to big box stores, have come and gone, but we’ve weathered the changes to business that the past 50 years have brought. We’ll continue to deliver innovative results that help your business succeed.
