Learn MoreChronic back problems plagued designer Ward Bennett throughout his life. As a result, his pursuit of seated comfort bordered on obsession. He refined his Bumper Chair with a comfortable pitch and short seat to relieve pressure on the sitter’s lower back.

Nearly seam-free upholstery
Our upholsterers navigate the chair's curvilinear lines skillfully, with minimal visible seams.

Standard arms
Bumper Armchairs with standard arms provide the sitter with a place to rest their elbows and avoid neck or shoulder strain while seated. Available on Bumper Armchairs with 4-leg base.

Low arms
Bumper Armchairs with four-star bases are also available with low arms. This option allows chairs to push cleanly under desks and tables without marking the upholstery over time.
