• One customer shared their satisfaction: “I tried many well-known chairs at furniture stores and ultimately chose Finora because it feels perfectly fitted and easy to use. The armrests can be adjusted inward, which is ideal for people with smaller builds—it helps reduce shoulder pressure and prevents fatigue while typing. Based on the tilt angle, hip curvature, and backrest design, it’s clear that Finora is optimized for office work. My ideal sitting position is to lean slightly back, allowing my body weight to distribute evenly from the hips to the back.” 

• Another user, Yukihiro, wrote: “I’ve been using this chair for about a month. When adjusting my sitting posture, the seat slides hesitantly by a few millimeters. In terms of aesthetics, though, this is truly an impressive and worthwhile piece of furniture!”

Other chairs in the 30,000–40,000 yen range usually make me sore after a few hours, but thanks to its multi-layer cushion, Sylphy keeps me comfortable all day long. Its elegant design also makes it visually appealing and never boring.” 

With its body-hugging backrest and versatile adjustability, Sylphy delivers a natural, comfortable, and authentically Japanese ergonomic sitting experience.
