The Alivio Donatello Lateral Back Lift Chair in Canyon Steel is a four-motor electric recliner for people who need both postural support while seated and a powered rise to standing. Four separate motors drive the headrest, lumbar section, backrest and footrest, so each part of the seating position can be set on its own. The backrest carries lateral supports that hold the trunk from the sides and help the user stay centred through a long period of sitting, and the chair reclines to a lay-flat position for resting during the day. A two-stage lift mechanism raises the seat higher than a single-stage action, which shortens the distance to standing, and the footrest extends to support longer legs. In the Standard size the seat is 52 cm wide and 52 cm deep at a height of 50.8 cm, with a weight capacity of up to 158 kg.

Independent control of four sections is what makes this chair suit long periods of sitting, because the user can shift position through the day instead of tolerating one fixed posture. The lateral backrest adds side support for anyone who tends to lean, and the two-stage lift reduces both the effort and the assistance needed to stand again.
