Boss and Okamura share a belief that true performance lies in the details. Together, we bring a curated portfolio of task chairs, designed with Japanese engineering precision and presented through a European lens of craft and comfort. This partnership unites function with feeling, technology with tactility, providing a refined choice of seating that elevates the workplace at every level.
We recognise a kindred mindset in Okamura, a belief that true quality lives in the details, especially the ones you don’t immediately see.
Okamura’s philosophy goes beyond surface beauty. It’s about precision in construction, care in finishing, and a deep consideration for how people actually use and experience a product. From the visible surfaces to the unseen elements beneath, every detail is resolved with intent – not for show, but for performance, comfort and longevity.
That approach is rooted in engineering. Founded in 1945 by aircraft engineers, Okamura brings a legacy of technical excellence and ultra-precise manufacturing to furniture design. This engineering discipline, combined with ongoing research into ergonomics and evolving work styles, has shaped nearly 80 years of human-centred innovation leading the south East Asian market.
It’s a philosophy Boss shares, where craftsmanship, refinement and thoughtful design come together to create furniture that feels quietly confident, performs consistently, and withstands the test of time.
Quality & Details
Like Boss, the refined quality and attention to detail that sets Okamura apart, from the way materials are selected and engineered, to how products are finished, upholstered, and assembled.
Every element is considered: proportions, comfort, stitch lines, junctions and tolerances. These details are not decorative; they directly influence durability, performance and how the product ages over time. This level of refinement reflects a design-led approach rooted in craftsmanship and longevity.
Japanese Design
This approach closely mirrors Japanese design principles, where quality is defined by restraint, precision and respect for materials. Much like traditional Japanese joinery, where components are designed to fit perfectly without force or ornament.

The standout feature of Sylphy is its exclusive Body Curve Adjustment. With a simple movement of the levers, you can change the contour of the backrest to fit your body perfectly. Narrow curve for smaller frames, offering firm support. Broader curve for larger builds, creating a more relaxed fit. It’s a truly personal chair — one that recognises the diversity of the modern workplace.
Within the Okamura Collection from Boss, Contessa II stands as a flagship task chair, a product that defines our commitment to precision, comfort and performance. For more than two decades, Contessa II has been trusted by professionals across the world and specified in some of the most demanding environments imaginable. Its reputation has been built not on trends, but on consistent performance, engineering precision and an exceptional sitting experience.
