KI has launched the Kiaura Collection, its first seating line built with Cognetic Technology, a patented gravity-powered multi-axis motion system invented by Aaron DeJule. The collection spans task, conference and lounge seating, along with tables and ottomans.
Why it matters
The launch establishes what KI describes as a new category of human performance seating, built around movement rather than static support. The product line reflects DeJule's personal experience with prolonged sitting after a serious car accident.
Controlled studies associated with Cognetic Technology reported anxiety reductions of up to 30% and improved comfort through the lower back and pelvis. DeJule has worked for more than a decade on seating that moves with the body, but the source does not detail the study designs or sample sizes.
The players
KI
KI is a manufacturer of office furniture that is the exclusive producer of the Kiaura Collection.
Aaron DeJule
Aaron DeJule is the designer and inventor of Cognetic Technology, who developed the collection after a serious car accident made prolonged sitting difficult.
The details
Cognetic Technology uses gravity and the body's own weight to drive continuous micro-adjustments, with no user settings or levers required. The Kiaura Collection adjusts to the user's movements in real time, a design shaped by DeJule's observation that the most effective early prototype movements were subtle, unconscious shifts of posture and weight.

The Tech Race
The Kiaura Collection is the first commercial product built on Cognetic Technology, moving the patented gravity-powered motion system from invention into a line of task, conference and lounge seating. It positions KI to define human performance seating as a category distinct from conventional static office chairs.
Office workers who spend long hours seated may find that a chair designed to move with the body changes how they experience prolonged sitting. The extraction does not indicate pricing or retail availability for the Kiaura Collection.
The takeaway
Seating that responds continuously to small, unconscious movements may be worth considering for anyone whose work keeps them in one position for hours. Evaluate comfort claims against your own experience, since the reported study figures come from the manufacturer's associated research.
