Contoured Mid-Back Support for All-Day Professional Comfort

The Office Master Discovery Back DB74 is a mid-back ergonomic task chair built around the Discovery Back — a contoured backrest design that follows the natural curve of the spine to deliver targeted lumbar support throughout the workday.

For standard-height professionals who need a chair that actively supports their posture with precision adjustability and commercial-grade durability, the DB74 delivers the Discovery Back's clinical benefits in a compact mid-back profile — at a lower price point than the tall-back DB78.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Discovery Back design?

The Discovery Back is Office Master's contoured backrest design that follows the natural S-curve of the spine. Unlike flat or minimally contoured backs, it provides targeted support at the lumbar region and mid-back, reducing the muscular effort required to maintain upright posture during extended sitting.

What is the difference between the DB74 and DB78?

Both feature the Discovery Back design and the same ergonomic adjustment platform. The DB74 is the mid-back version — ideal for standard-height users who don't require additional upper back coverage. The DB78 is the tall-back version, providing additional upper back and shoulder support for taller users or those who want more comprehensive coverage. Our specialists can help you determine which is right for your body.

What armrest options are available?

The DB74 is available with no armrests or with KR-200 adjustable armrests offering height and width adjustment for proper shoulder and elbow positioning.
