Secretlab, purveyors of high-tech gaming chairs, have been focusing heavily on collaborations for their popular Titan EVO model in recent months, but the new NanoGen model promises a significant upgrade in terms of overall comfort. The goal was to provide the perfect combination of softness and support for long hours of sitting using new NanoGen Hybrid Leatherette and NanoFoam composite materials. As you’ll see, these new materials just might give you a reason to finally pull the trigger on an expensive gaming chair, or even upgrade from an earlier model.
Despite being softer than any leatherette that Secretlab has ever produced, Secretlab notes that the NanoGen leatherette is 14x more durable than regular PU leather, and includes enhanced stain and UV resistance. The NanoFoam is also said to be their most supportive foam option. It involves blending their medium-firm cold-cure foam with a soft-cushion microfoam top to further enhance the balance between softness and support.

Vincent Sin, Head of Industrial Design at Secretlab at the following to say about the new chair design:
“Years of expertise and experience we’ve gained from formulating our own upholstery
and proprietary cold-cure foam has allowed us to reinvent what’s possible.
The Secretlab NanoGen Hybrid Leatherette and Secretlab NanoFoam Composite
have solved some of the biggest paradoxes in material science and engineering.
We’re bringing together qualities traditionally in conflict with one another, without having
to compromise on any benefits. With that, we can create a chair that unlocks an entirely
new level of comfort, going above and beyond the norm to reduce strain over long hours.”
