Office Depot, Inc. Launches the Realspace Modern Comfort Series: Exclusive Line of Office Chairs Designed with Modern Style and Advanced Comfort Technologies

Office Depot, Inc. (NASDAQ: ODP), a leading global provider of office products, services, and solutions, through its Office Depot and OfficeMax brands, today announced the launch of the Realspace® Modern Comfort Series, an exclusive line of stylishly designed office chairs that utilize cutting-edge technologies in comfort seating.

This new line features a range of seating types, including task-style, mid-back, executive-style, and guest seating options, as well as a range of modern color options, from traditional black to gray, taupe and white.

“We are proud to introduce this curated seating assortment, proving once and for all that you don’t have to choose between style and comfort when selecting the right chair. The new Realspace Modern Comfort Series brings the best of both worlds,” said Ron Lalla, executive vice president of merchandising for Office Depot, Inc. “The new collection of office seating allows our customers to experience exceptional comfort without the big and bulky construction that typically comes with it.”

Office chairs in the Realspace Modern Comfort collection include one or more of the following comfort technology features:

• Coil Spring Technology adds comfort and support through weight distribution and shock absorption, minimizing compression so the chairs won’t break down like those with traditional cushioning.
• Comfort Band Construction supports and distributes weight with a series of horizontal, elastic bands that conform to each user’s shape to provide personalized support.
• High-Density Foam Cushioning is designed to ensure long-lasting, high-quality performance over an extended period of time, providing support where you need it most.
• Built-In Contoured Lumbar Support provides necessary support in the critical lumbar region of the chair in a way that is integrated into the overall modern chair design, without the need for bulky external or add-on support mechanisms.

“We know employees are sitting for the vast majority of the workday. Whether they are working at home or in the office, we want to give them the option of using a product that feels as great as it looks, and that’s the premise of the Realspace Modern Comfort Series,” said Lalla.

The Realspace Modern Comfort Series is available for purchase at Office Depot and OfficeMax retail locations and online at officedepot.com/moderncomfort.
