Shape was founded in 1967 and one of the original founders, Brian Edwards, still retains an active interest in the development of the company. This ensures that those perennial essentials of customer service, reliable deliveries, kept promises and personal attention are combined with expertise provided by all members of Shape Posture Seating.

20 YEARS AGO

Some 20 years ago we were one of the first companies in the UK to become interested in developing the idea of posture seating when, coming from a background of general office furniture, we introduced the quite revolutionary idea of ‘kneeling chairs’ from Stokke in Norway, to the north of England. The success of this new concept encouraged us to concentrate our skills and knowledge in the workings of ‘ergonomics’ (the relationship between people and their workplace) and in 1997 we changed our trading name to Shape Posture Seating to reflect this new focus.

OUR PERSONAL SERVICE

Shape Posture Seating is a family owned and run business. We all love our work, a factor that comes across to everyone we speak to during a working day. We believe that by staying comparatively small as a company we are able to relate to our customers and build relationships that we feel would be impossible in a large, impersonal organisation.

MORE THAN JUST A CHAIR

Shape Posture Seating won’t simply sell you a chair. We will look at how you will be using that chair and how this will relate to your working environment. We will instruct you on how to get the maximum benefit and, if you want us to, we will set the chair up on site and advise you on whether your equipment is in the right position to help minimise any adverse effects on your body.
