Dot.Pro Chair

Forma 5 swivel task chair for offices

The Dot.Pro Chair by Forma 5 is a swivel task chair for individual desks and open-plan offices. Designed by Jorge Herrera, it combines an upholstered seat with a flexible backrest. Its single-point connection to the seat lets the upper back move while the lower part of the backrest remains supportive. Forma 5 presents Dot.Pro for extended office use, but the right configuration depends on the users and the work setting.

Choose from Web, Meci or 3D Runner mesh backrests, or an upholstered-mesh version. The upholstered version has fabric on the front and a breathable mesh layer at the rear. A high-back chair, a headrest version and a taller stool for high work surfaces are shown in Forma 5's range. These are different configurations, not features included with every chair.

Synchro Nova and Synchro Motion mechanisms are listed. Options include seat-depth adjustment, flexible lumbar adjustment and fixed or adjustable arms, with 1D, 3D and 4D arm choices shown in the manufacturer's specification. Confirm the chosen mechanism, frame, castors, upholstery and adjustments before ordering. No single set of dimensions should be assumed for all variants.

For a workplace project, tell one of our experienced project consultants the number of chairs, intended users, desk arrangement, flooring, preferred backrest and arm options, delivery address and programme. They can check the proposed configuration and prepare a project-specific quotation.

How to specify the Dot.Pro Chair

Choose the backrest

Forma 5 lists breathable Web, Meci and 3D Runner mesh backrests. An upholstered-mesh version has fabric on the front and mesh at the rear. Compare the sample fabrics and colours in the intended room rather than assuming each cover is interchangeable.

Decide on the chair height

The range includes a high-back task chair, a version with an adjustable headrest and a taller stool with a footrest for high work surfaces. These are distinct configurations. Match the seat and desk height to the intended users and request the dimensions for the version selected.

Select the mechanism

Synchro Nova and Synchro Motion are shown in the Forma 5 literature. They are not the same specification. Confirm which mechanism is proposed and whether seat-depth adjustment is included for that configuration.

Specify lumbar and arm support

Flexible lumbar adjustment is an option, not a standard feature of every Dot.Pro. The chair can be specified without arms, with fixed arms or with adjustable 1D, 3D or 4D arms. Check the chosen arm height against the work surface.

Match the base to the floor

The technical sheet lists a polyamide base and an aluminium base, with hard or soft double-wheel castors. Agree the base and castor choice for the flooring and the room's finish schedule.

Complete the project brief

Provide the quantity, workstation layout, backrest material, mechanism, arm and lumbar choices, flooring and delivery location. One of our experienced project consultants can check the current configuration and prepare a quotation.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Dot.Pro Chair?

Dot.Pro is a swivel task chair by Forma 5, designed by Jorge Herrera. It combines an upholstered seat with a flexible backrest and is offered in several configurations for office workstations.

Is Dot.Pro intended for extended desk work?

Forma 5 presents Dot.Pro for continuous office use. The right mechanism, adjustments and backrest still need to be chosen for the people and workstations in the project.

How does its backrest move?

Forma 5 describes a flexible upper backrest joined to the seat at a single point. The lower part of the backrest remains supportive as the upper section moves.

Which backrest and chair versions can I choose?

Web, Meci and 3D Runner mesh options are shown, alongside an upholstered-mesh back. Forma 5 also shows high-back, headrest and taller stool configurations. Check which backrest is offered with the version selected.

Is lumbar adjustment included?

Flexible lumbar adjustment is listed as an option. Confirm it as part of the chosen chair specification rather than assuming every Dot.Pro has it.

What armrest options are offered?

The technical information lists armless, fixed-arm and adjustable-arm configurations, including 1D, 3D and 4D options. Check arm height and the selected mechanism against the desk layout.

Can the seat depth be adjusted for shared desks?

Seat-depth adjustment is optional in the manufacturer's technical information. For shared workstations, check whether the chosen configuration includes it and how each user will set the chair.

Is the backrest breathable or upholstered?

The mesh options are described as breathable. Forma 5 also lists an upholstered-mesh version with fabric on the front and mesh at the rear. The selected backrest determines the finish.

Can Dot.Pro be used in a larger office fit-out?

It can be considered for open-plan workstations as well as individual offices. Agree the same backrest, mechanism, arm, base and fabric specification across the project before ordering.

Does Dot.Pro have environmental certification?

Forma 5 says the Dot.Pro series holds NF Environnement – Furniture Quality Certification. Ask a project consultant for the current certificate and its scope if it is needed for your project.
