Furniture World News

Human Touch®, a market leader in lifestyle and massage products, announced that two of its massage chairs have been honored by Design Journal’s 2009 Award For Design Excellence (ADEX) competition. The Human Touch AcuTouch™ HT-1650 massage chair received the highest honor of Platinum for its seamless integration of elegant style and comprehensive patented Human Touch Technology®, approved and recommended by the World Federation of Chiropractic. The AcuTouch™ HT-7450 Zero-Gravity massage chair, also integrating Human Touch Technology®, received the Silver Award for its ability to relieve soreness, tension and fatigue caused by gravity, while blending into any décor and home or office environment. Both massage chairs offer Human Touch’s patented Acupoint® Detection System, which scans the entire length of the user’s back for key pressure points and accurately targets them during an invigorating and therapeutic massage. In addition, both chairs offer Massage Comfort Control, which allows full control over the intensity of the massage. Eight full-body pre-programmed wellness massages range from “full body sore muscle relief” to “after work stretch.” The user is able to customize each massage to include the neck, back, seat, foot and calf, and dual lumbar heat, and the ergonomically designed neck-contoured comfort pillow and memory foam seat cushion ensures ultimate personalized comfort. Both chairs come in Black or Dark Chocolate, the HT-1650 with premium leather / leather-match upholstery, and the HT-7450 with Standard leather / leather-match upholstery. Both chairs are suitable for any style of home or décor.
