Vela Tango: A Mobility Chair for the Elderly

As we age, everyday tasks like cooking, getting dressed or moving around the home can become more challenging. But losing mobility doesn’t have to mean losing independence. The Vela Tango 700E mobility chair has been designed specifically with elderly users in mind, to help them stay active, comfortable and safe in their daily lives.

What is the Vela Tango 700E?

The Vela Tango 700E is a specialist ergonomic chair that combines the support of a high quality task chair with the practicality of a mobility aid. Unlike traditional wheelchairs or armchairs, this chair is designed to help older adults do household tasks without strain.

With its stable braking system you can feel secure when sitting, standing up or moving between tasks. The electric height adjustment allows the chair to be raised or lowered with the touch of a button, so you can reach cupboards, tables or countertops without overstretching. The chair is manufactured by Vela in Denmark and has a long history of building great chairs which help people regain their independence.

Key Features for Elderly Users

• Electric height adjustment – Sit low for stability or rise high to reach shelves safely.
• Central brake system – Locks the chair in place, so you can stand or transfer with confidence.
• Easy-rolling wheels – Move around the home without needing to use a walking aid.
• Customisable ergonomics – Adjustable backrest, armrests and seat for maximum comfort.
• Supportive design – Encourages safe posture and reduces strain on joints and muscles.

Independence at Home

One of the biggest concerns for elderly people is independence. The Vela Tango 700E reduces the risk of falls and makes everyday activities easier to manage. Whether cooking, sitting at a desk or simply moving between rooms, the chair provides mobility and stability.

Unlike bulky mobility aids, the Vela Tango blends in with the home environment. It looks like a stylish task chair not a clinical medical device, so you can feel more at ease and dignified in your daily routines.

Who is the Vela Tango 700E for?

This mobility chair is for:

• Elderly individuals with reduced mobility who want to stay independent.
• People with balance difficulties who need extra stability when moving around.
• Those who tire easily when standing for long periods.
