In an intense collaboration between Bimos and PHOENIX, a brand-shaping product came alive, continuing Bimos's legacy. When designing the TEXON, it was essential to understand the context and user needs in depth because requirements from different fields are blending, e.g., ESD compatibility in cleanrooms. However, ergonomic, sustainable, economical, and technical requirements must also be considered. A friendly appearance is achieved by simple, soft, and easy-to-clean surface treatment combined with dynamic linework that embodies the performant character and active seating. The TEXON appears as an approachable minimalist, inviting you to sit while performing like a high-priced office chair. The new chair is the new benchmark in the market and values human needs as essential to the modern working world.

While implementing the TEXON, we relied on our core competencies. We began with sketches describing soft, gentle, tensed surfaces meeting an iconic and dynamic X shape. The X element becomes the central ergonomic, functional and design part, housing the hinge for the backrest. Refining the design through sketches, models and Class-A-Surfacing, we can confidently say that the manufacturing process increased the market's production quality, which is only seen in car manufacturing nowadays. PHOENIX designed a unique CMF strategy to reduce Bimos' complexity, allowing the new owners of TEXON to choose from a variety of colours. The GOLD-Awarded (German Design Award) TEXON was launched at Orgatec in 2024 and has become the new benchmark for its category.
