For most people with back pain or stiffness, chairs of any kind are usually avoided at all costs. Even for those who are fortunate enough (or simply, still young enough…) to be pain and stiffness free, but who spend large portions of their day seated, at a desk or in the office, no doubt recognize the myriad ergonomic issues inherent in the “sitting in a chair all day with poor posture” lifestyle.
The Fiore Floral Accent Chair by Wholesale Interiors, is the furniture worlds equivalent of a beautiful spring flower garden or exquisite landscape painting. Nothing brightens a room or living space like exuberant, colorful fabrics and flower print furniture, and the Fiore Floral Accent Chair is the perfect furniture item to remind the rest of the furniture in your home that spring has finally arrived!
As furniture goes, stacking chairs are just about as convenient and as economical as it gets. Perfect for any situation in which large amounts of seating space is needed temporarily or on an intermittent basis. They are usually light, durable and of course, easy to stack and store.
Leap Chair by Steelcase
The Leap chair by Steelcase has a back that changes shape to support the entire spine. This can reduce the chance of lower back sag and a hunched posture, which may weaken disc walls, stress back ligaments and cause deterioration of the spine.
With its Natural Glide System As you recline: the seat glides forward so you can recline without leaving your Vision and Reach Zone, so you stay oriented to your work. This encourages more varied postures so there’s less static load on the spine.
Thermal Comfort Thanks to slats in both its back and seat, and the special foam it uses, the Leap chair offers excellent “breathability.” It effectively controls a balance of heat and moisture so you stay comfortable.
If you are not familiar with the concept of drafting and drafting chairs, seeing one for the first time could prompt you to wonder if the designers were just a wee-bit distracted when they rolled out this particular model. They truly do seem like a chair design gone wrong. The truth is however, drafting chairs are a god-send for all engineers and workplace professionals who work long hours at tall or oddly shaped desks and tables.
Make no mistake about it, chairs can talk.
They may not speak very loudly, but they do speak subtle volumes.
Your chair has a message to share with the world, with your colleagues and with your clients.
It tells a story. The story of you.
Crafting the layout and design of a room in your home or office can sometimes be a challenge. There are always so many decor options to choose from and so many different design trends and layout theories.
The following are five interior design myths that, as we address and expose them, should help cut down on some of the confusion of interior design and give you a better idea of what to do and how to go about doing it.
TGIF!
Another week comes to an end, and as all you regular readers know, we like to do something a little “different” to close out the week on a lighter note.
Pictured below are some funky furniture designs that I thought were just “different” enough to be noteworthy.
Take a look and let me know what you think!
Many of the posts on this blog center around the idea of furniture as an art form or novelty piece. And while there may be nothing a true furniture connoisseur enjoys more than a novel concept or design, I’m sure even the most enthusiastic amongst us would agree that the real priority in every furniture design should be the improved comfort and lifestyle of the person in question. Especially when it comes to the future furniture enthusiasts of the world, and indeed the very future of our world in general, our children.
In today’s post I would like to take a moment to salute the work of the Perch Company, an inventive design house that has received international recognition for their work in health positive school furniture design. Their commitment to the improvement of the health and quality of life for our children in schools across the world is both obvious and heartwarming.
While there may be plenty of chairs out there that are sleek, comfortable, ergonomic and stylish, there is only one high-end office chair that will make you “Think”.
Introducing the Think Chair by renowned furniture manufacturer Steelcase.
Flexors on the back and seat track your every movement and shape to provide optimal support for every area of your back and seat shape. The flexible seat edge relieves pressure on the back of your legs whenever you recline or lean forward. Everything about the Think chair, from the Profile seat and back Flexors, to the flexible front seat edge and the incredibly adjustable arms, all combine to make the Think Chair one of the most intuitive chairs on the market.
Though perhaps not as obscure as some of the other furniture pieces discussed in this series, I chose the rolltop desk for today’s Know Your Furniture segment because to me, the ingenuity of the design was never given the full appreciation or exposure it deserved. Practical, clever and way ahead of it’s time, the rolltop was the mainstay of small business offices at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th.
The rolltop desk is a 19th century reworking of the pedestal desk with, in addition, a series of stacked compartments, shelves, drawers and nooks in front of the user. The compartments and the desktop surface of a roll top desk can be covered by means of a tambour consisting of linked wooden slats that roll or slide through slots in the raised sides of the desk. In that, it is a descendant in function, and partly in form, of the cylinder desk of the 18th century. It is a relative of the tambour desk whose slats retract horizontally rather than vertically.
