If you want just the chair part of it and not the entire metal frame, it is the Freedom chair by a company called humanscale:

Not cheap though.

yeah im actually looking for the metal frame, mainly becouse it puts surround speakers in perfect position, which is near impossible in a room with a computer desk. Also it looks comfy. There 3rd generation is suppost to be out this month, just curious if anyone knows if they will be at E3
My office uses the freedom chairs (without the headrest) and I don't like 'em, but I know I'm probably in the minority as far as this is concerned.
The arm rests are great as far as how they adjust, and they feel nice and squishy, but the problem (in an office environment anyway) is that people don't put the arms down before they shove thum under a desk or conference table. The coating on the arm rests is some sort of rubbery material that is not very durable. Edges of desks and tables tear it fairly easily, and once it opens up, you get to play with some nice goopy gel (sticky too).
The other thing I don't like about them is that the back rest moves independently of the seat; meaning, if you leam back, your legs don't tilt up. That's just a personal preference thing for someone who has had back problems. Once I get set in a comfortable position, I like to be able to lean back without losing the angle that my old, too many years of tennis and soccer, bones worked so hard to attain.
I will say this. They are very sturdy and are of very high quality, and again, I know I'm in the minority when I say I don't like them. Most people in my office seem to like them just fine.
