Since 1986, Karo has been helping people create healthier workspaces. To learn how we can help you create your own ergonomic workspace, watch our short video.

About Us

In the mid-1980s we became very involved with ergonomics in the workplace. We consistently found that for many people working at a desk sitting was a major cause of neck, shoulder, and back pain. We were determined to address this problem, and so in May 1986 we set up Karo with the sole intention of designing and manufacturing ergonomic office chairs that would prevent or at least reduce back pain.

At Karo we care about your back and wellbeing. We work with companies and individuals by assessing the sitting posture and position and issues that you may be experiencing like lower back, shoulder, and neck pain. Once you have analysed your working environment and understand your problem, we provide you with a few chair options that we believe best meet your needs. We then assist you in making a choice that is right for you. We carry an extensive range of ergonomic and orthopedic office chairs in stock, so you can be sure of finding a chair for your home or office that is correct for your needs.

Whether you’re small or tall or require chair for a special application, you’ll probably find a chair for you. This is our showroom in Johannesburg and see for yourself. Should you be looking for office chairs in Cape Town, Durban or anywhere else in South Africa use the extensive knowledge center section on our website to find out how to select an office chair that is ergonomically correct for you. You are welcome to contact us for any advice or to book your free assessment at our showroom.
