A chair for supporting a seat occupant that includes a sensory feature that allows the seat occupant to fidget when seated. The chair includes a seat shroud that is located below the seat and seating surface of the chair. The seat shroud includes a sensory feature that is located along at least a portion of the seat shroud. The sensory feature can include a plurality of raised surfaces, such as sensory domes or dots, distributed along all or a portion of the front surface and side surfaces of the seat shroud. The size of the sensory domes can vary, and the different sized sensory domes can be randomly distributed along the surfaces of the seat shroud. When seated, the seat occupant can reach below the seat and engage the sensory feature to allow the seat occupant to fidget and divert their attention.

A composite board has a vacuum molded surface plate (12) and a bottom plate (13). Edges of the surface plate (12) and the bottom plate (13) are fixed into one piece by thermoplastic fixation, and a top wall of each supporting protrusion (135) and a body of the surface plate (12) are fixed into one piece by thermoplastic fixation. The composite board is formed by superimposing at least two layers of boards. A method for manufacturing the composite board provides process guidance for manufacturing the composite board.

A chair assembly includes a seat, a base having a post, and a bracket attaching the seat to the base. The bracket includes a plate attached to the seat, a retainer, and an absorber. The retainer includes a receiving portion receiving the post of the base and a flange extending radially from the receiving portion. The absorber includes an annular shape and is disposed about the receiving portion and between the flange and the plate. The absorber is configured to flex between the flange and the plate to accommodate pivotal movement of the seat relative to the post in directions transverse to a longitudinal axis of the post.
