| Technical purpose of product or process | The RH Mereo series offers a range of ergonomic office chairs designed to suit individuals of all sizes and shapes, making them ideal for personal use as well as shared office environments. Each model in the series is highly adjustable, with user-friendly levers and intuitive controls that allow users to easily customize the chair to their personal preferences. The RH Mereo 220 features a large, curved backrest that provides excellent support, while the RH Mereo 300 offers a large, square backrest for those who prefer a different shape. Both models come standard with castors for soft floors and a durable black lacquered aluminium base, though they can also be customized with a silver base or other optional accessories to fit various workspace aesthetics. For users who prefer a more compact design, the RH Mereo 200 has a medium backrest that offers the same level of comfort and adjustability. Like the other models in the series, it features the same high-quality build, intuitive controls, and options for customization, including black or silver base finishes and black or light grey plastic details. All RH Mereo chairs are designed to ensure a comfortable seating experience, promoting both productivity and well-being, while offering flexibility to adapt to any office environment.
