A Back That Moves With You
The Axon is built around a flex-back: Buro designed it to move naturally with your body and keep supporting you as you shift through the day, with an open back design that lets air through. Underneath, a synchronised seat and back tilt, gas-lift seat height and a depth-adjustable seat slide set the basics, and the polyurethane moulded seat has a memory-foam layer.
It comes with a black frame and base and black seat, or a white frame and base with a light grey seat, with or without arms. Buro states the Axon meets ANSI/BIFMA x5.1-2017, holds GREENGUARD Gold certification and is endorsed by the Australian Physiotherapy Association.

The Details
Five Things That Make It an Axon
The flex-back, the tilt, the seat, the arms and the two colourways.

Flex-Back
The back flexes with your movement to keep supporting you; Buro lists the back material as thermoplastic polyurethane, with built-in lumbar support.

Synchronised Tilt
Seat and back tilt together on Buro's synchro mechanism, and the seat slides between 480 and 510 mm of depth.

Memory-Foam Seat
A polyurethane moulded seat with a memory-foam layer, 510 mm wide.

Arms If You Want Them
Buy it without arms, or with arms Buro describes as height, width and depth adjustable.

Black or White
A black frame and base with a black seat, or a white frame and base with a light grey seat.

Choose the colour: Black (black frame and base, black seat; Buro codes 170-3, or 170A-3 with arms) or Grey / White frame (white frame and base, light grey seat; 170-0, or 170A-0 with arms). Then choose with or without arms. Buro also lists an optional fabric slip cover for the backrest; call us on 02 9640 0642 if you want one.
If you want a back you can raise and an adjustable lumbar, look at the Buro Quantum ergonomic office chair. For a mesh chair with a polished aluminium base option, see the Buro Mentor mesh office chair.
Why We Chose Buro
Buro Seating was founded in Auckland in 1994 and has been part of ACCO Brands since 1 March 2025. It publishes a specification sheet, line drawings and certification details for its chairs, so the figures on this page are Buro's own rather than ours.
Chair Dinkum is an authorised Buro dealer. You can sit in Buro chairs at our Sydney showroom (Shop 1, 209 Harris Street, Pyrmont NSW 2009, by appointment, Mon–Fri 9am–5pm), and we quote whole floors through our commercial fit-out team on 02 9640 0642.
