ABOUT ONGO
HEALTHY SITTING STARTS WITH MOVEMENT - ONGO MAKES IT HAPPEN!
ONGO stands for active, ergonomic seating with modern design. As a KÖHL brand, we combine innovative design with proven quality – for dynamic workplaces.
ONGO – Rethinking sitting since 2010
Since 2010, ONGO has stood for healthier, more active, and future-oriented working. The vision: ergonomic seating solutions that promote movement, strengthen the back, and meet the modern demands of agile working environments.
ONGO and KÖHL: Two strong brands, one common vision
With the acquisition of ONGO by KÖHL in 2023, a new chapter begins: KÖHL brings the highest quality standards, decades of production experience, and industry-leading service. Shared values such as responsibility, passion, credibility, and creativity combine with the best of both worlds – agile, movement-enhancing products from ONGO and ergonomic expertise and precision from KÖHL. Whether in the office, home office, or co-working space: ONGO products impress with timeless design, sustainable materials, and high functionality, promoting health, concentration, and collaboration.

The emergence of ONGO: Innovation from personal need
Founder Eberhard Lenz, originally from a construction and project development background, developed the first ONGO® stool out of a personal desire. His goal was not just to create a new chair, but to revolutionize active sitting. The key innovation: an integrated ball track in the curved base. This generates acoustic feedback that encourages continuous movement – thus naturally strengthening the back muscles.

The emergence of ONGO: Innovation driven by personal need

A new stool design emerged featuring an integrated ball track that provides audible feedback, thus continuously encouraging movement to strengthen posture and support back health.
