The world of work is changing – and Topstar has been helping to shape it since 1976. What started as a small chair factory has grown into one of Europe’s most innovative seating manufacturers. Discover the story behind it.
Modern, inspiring, and reliable. Guided by these values, we at Topstar have been developing innovative products for 50 years—some of which have stood the test of time for several decades and set the standard for the office chair and seating furniture industry worldwide. With one of the broadest product ranges in our industry, we offer our retail partners, in particular, a level of service they’ll be hard-pressed to find elsewhere.
AirWork
AirWork – a new sense of lightness when sitting. Modern design, breathable mesh comfort, and six bold colors for stylish work environments.
Open Art 2010
The benchmark for mesh swivel chairs in the early 2000s and, with it, the introduction of a new technology into Topstar’s production process. Open Art was and still is today – the new way to sit dynamically in modern, open-plan offices.

For decades, we have believed in the power of movement – for greater freedom, individuality and personal development: 3D dynamic seating becomes a natural part of everyday life: energising, invigorating and inspiring. For more energy. For people with style, poise and the courage to embrace progressive change. That’s why we developed the Sitness brand in 2005, for which we received the German Brand Award in 2022. Because movement means improvement. In every direction. In your own style.

New Work
– New Sitting
In a world that is constantly changing and increasingly shaped by technology and globalisation, the way we work is evolving. This calls for a reimagining of our working environments, as spaces are the driving force behind creative freedom. Discover the future of work now – an agile, creative and dynamic working environment!
Sitness has been tested and approved – by the Healthy Back Campaign! Selected products have been tested by the AGR and awarded the ‘Tested & Recommended’ seal of approval! With our AGR-certified models, you can create the most important element of a healthy working environment. Our unique Sitness technology ensures three-dimensional sitting. The freedom of movement in every direction promotes more active sitting, which unconsciously exercises the back muscles and thus helps prevent back pain.
Sit, Move, Improve! This is the motto that will underpin all our Sitness products in future. Leading the way is our flagship product, the Sitness 4D, created by our Swiss designer and developer Thomas Walser. He has already created numerous highly successful lifestyle products for the Sitness brand and, with his extraordinary ideas, has got hundreds of thousands of people moving whilst sitting.
His latest product for Sitness is arguably the most technically sophisticated he has designed for us to date. Its ingeniously refined technology moves people in all directions and also provides deep cushioning, which we refer to as the 4th dimension of active sitting.
Design that moves you, movement that fits! When design and movement are in harmony, we experience a sense of ‘well-being’. That sums up in a single sentence what we prioritise above all else when developing our unique products for our WAGNER brand. As early as 1949, Moritz Wagner set the benchmark with the development of his pub chair. As a style icon of the 1950s and 1960s, it combined the attributes of design and a sense of well-being then, just as it does today.
