Wonderful office health chair: sit on it, elegant and happier
According to the British "Daily Mail" website report, American researchers have recently invented a healthy office chair, which can not only make the user's sitting posture more beautiful, but also make the user happier.
This office chair was designed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States, and was jointly developed by Dr. Patrick Kunzler and designer Ben Flury. Dubbed the "LimbIC," named after the human limbic system that regulates our emotions, it was the first chair to incorporate neuroscience into its design.
The LimbIC office chair has a peculiar shape, which is very different from ordinary office chairs in daily life. It has neither a backrest nor an armrest, and the main body of the chair is only composed of two carbon fiber hard shells. The carbon fiber monocoque is the same material used for the monocoques of F1 racing cars and moves with the user. It is precisely because of the application of this special material that LimbIC office chair can help users adjust their sitting posture, so that they can relax better. It is worth mentioning that users can also experience the feeling of weightlessness while sitting on the LimbIC office chair, and this feeling has been proven to have a positive impact on human creativity, expression and mood.
Previous studies have shown that sitting for too long can have adverse effects on people's physical and mental health. Statistics show that in Switzerland alone this problem has cost billions of dollars. Inspired by this, Dr. Kunzler developed this novel healthy office chair, trying to alleviate the above problems to a certain extent.
Dr. Kunzler said: "A relaxed and upright sitting posture can avoid pressure points and relieve the pressure on the intervertebral discs. People subconsciously and continuously maintain the balance of the sitting posture, which can enhance the strength and coordination of the muscles supporting the spine, improve the user's sense of touch and movement, and train their sense of balance. Facts have proved that after sitting on the LimbIC office chair, it will have very positive effects. The user will feel like jumping up and down, and multiple parts of the body are rested and relaxed. After trying the office chair, he said: "Sitting in the chair is like skiing, very comfortable. "
Although the price of each LimbIC office chair is as high as US$8,450 (approximately 53,700 yuan), pre-orders have already flowed like snowflakes to the manufacturer of office chairs-Swiss Inno-Motion. It is reported that office workers account for 60% of the customer base, and groups such as artists, doctors and physiotherapists have also shown great interest in LimbIC office chairs.
