The Audi company presented a new series of chairs created specifically for gaming and eSports. On the project, the German automaker worked together with the American company Vertagear, which specializes in ergonomic gaming furniture. About this informsTechRadar.
The line was named Audi Edition and is distinguished by a design inspired by the sports seats of Audi cars. Among the visual characteristics are the silhouette, materials and styling that reproduce the concept of motorsport comfort in a digital environment. The minimum cost of the model starts from 500 USD.
The basic model of the series — SL3800 Audi Edition — is equipped with artificial leather with a ventilation coating, which provides comfort during long-term use. It has a steel frame and reinforced side supports, which outwardly resemble motor sports seats. A wide range of settings is provided: adjustment of the backrest angle, seat height, as well as the possibility of additional equipment with a neck pillow.
The next model in the series, the SL5800 RS Edition, is built on a lightweight aluminum frame. It is distinguished by decorative holes in the back, stylized as holes for belts. Modern HygennX material is used for the upholstery, which dries quickly, absorbs odors and creates additional comfort during long hours of sitting. Also, this material has antimicrobial properties, which is important for professional gamers and those who work at a computer for a long time.
The flagship position is occupied by the PL4800 Audi Sport Edition chair. Its main feature is a pronounced sports design that echoes the appearance of Audi Sport cars. The model has a reinforced construction that can withstand users up to 198 cm tall and weighing up to 163 kg. It is also equipped with extended lateral support and has an ergonomically improved shape of the back and seat.
