Built for Bigger Builds Maxis was engineered at full scale, not adapted from a standard chair platform.

Maxis also features a five-stage recline control system from 105° to 160°, supported by a Segmented Support System using progressive springs. This provides controlled, consistent support throughout the recline range, even under heavier loads. Three configuration
