While sedentary work is so detrimental to health, which can shorten life expectancy standing at work all day is also a source of serious problems. Physical stress, repetitive actions and non-ergonomic posture can lead to the development of so-called musculoskeletal disorders (SMR), which are one of leading causes of work-related injuries and illnesses in the modern world. IN 2011 IDA caused 33 percent of all US work injuries – This is more than 378 thousand cases. In Europe, over 40 million workers suffer from SMR associated with their work, study data read “Fit For Work Europe” held in 23 European countries.
Chairless Chair is an innovative approach to this the problem that today they are trying to solve mainly through improved workplace ergonomics.
Aluminum and carbon fiber chair design allows Chairless Chair weigh only 2 kilograms, so it is not strong burdens its user, and extremely slightly limits his freedom of movement. And in the future it may be equipped with smart motors capable of anticipating the intentions of the wearer and offering him an optimal sitting position, even without direct control.
