OPL SERIES
The Alu Design OPL Series is a collection of operator chairs which Acorn Design have created to allow for easily customisable seating. Mounting monitors, control buttons and joysticks on armrests are essential in these high end operator chairs. Consequentially, there is also a need to conceal cables. The OPL Series seats are therefore designed so cables can be concealed in the armrest and chair column and a cable tower has also been created to encase and support large quantities of cables where needed. In continuing to keep the concept clean and elegant Acorn Design also designed and developed the chair so welding is not required. This helps reduce costs in production and allows the chair to be taken apart easily should technical components, such as monitors, needed maintenance or repair.
