Inventive Office Seating


Who needs another chair? This idea is the convergence of a couple of ideas we had collected from over a decade of office furniture experience.

When it come to occasional or task seating, which is just about any chair that you won't be sitting in all day, a stool is a perfectly versatile concept. We think you shouldn't be sitting all day anyway, it's bad for you, especially your back.

With that in mind we put an inflatable exercise type ball in the center construction to provide an resilient and dynamic seating experience with the subtle up and down, side to side motion we are always advocating in seating.


We also added a lift and click top that takes up several inches of height adjustment- something lacking in most task chairs.

The other benefits include things that make great sense in practice that might not be immediately apparent. If these seats are collected around a conference area the don't obstruct the view as much and fully backed chairs and they don't ever get mis-aligned, because they are perfectly round. They don't encourage slouching or long-haul meetings where people can recline to near sleep.

Small enough to tuck under a desk, the stools excel at the impromptu meetings where people huddle around someone's monitor at the side of their desk, and when you're alone they make an excellent ottoman.
