As the days of summer progress and temperatures continue to rise, some of us (myself included) scramble for the air conditioned refuge of the indoors, and only venture out when absolutely necessary, and even then, only when the promise of an air conditioned vehicle awaits. For others, more tolerant of the heat than I, this is the time of year when it seems as if the great outdoors are calling them by name, and they seize every opportunity to bask in the warmth of the summer sun.
It is to the latter that I address this post.

We spend the bulk of our time here on the Madison Seating Blog discussing the finer points of indoor home or office furniture, and I would like to dedicate this post to the unsung furniture heroes who are asked to continually brave the elements of the great outdoors, while still providing functional comfort on demand. I have selected for your viewing pleasure, the following few “outdoor weather-warriors” and would welcome your feedback on these models or any general thoughts on the topic of outdoor furniture.

The “walking” or “treadmill” desk is the perfect remedy for those of us who have had a gym membership for the past five years and are still gearing up for our first visit. It’s trendy, sensible and it’s potential benefits could fill a blogpost of their own.

Five years from now, will we 9 to 5’ers be walking our way through the day with the walking desk a fixture in the corporate world, or will the idea of treadmill desks have faded from societies collective horizon completely…
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.

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.
