• Fully Upholstered: This option combines universal appeal with Ara’s signature design clarity and performance, making it a versatile choice for any setting.

Personalised Comfort

Recognising that everyone has unique needs, Ara offers an enhanced height and depth-adjustable lumbar pad option. This feature allows for fine-tuning to provide personalised lower back support, ensuring optimal comfort throughout the day.
