Take a Load Off Anywhere With The Chairless Chair
Assembly line workers, teachers and food services professionals… In a world where so many people work jobs that require them to be on their feet all day, the “Chairolution” is a seriously welcome arrival. Noonee, a Zurich-based startup, has created the Chairless Chair (yep, you read that right), a device that attaches to your legs to allow you to comfortably assume a seated position whenever and wherever you want.
The Chairless Chair straps to your hips and thighs and bends with your every move, deeming itself a versatile and functional device. It allows you to walk and move normally, but also to sit comfortably when you’re tired. With just the push of a button, everything locks into place to produce a resting place that goes with you wherever you want it to.
Keith Gunura, the co-founder and CEO of Noonee, came up with the idea for the Chairless Chair after working in a UK packaging factory as a teenager. Standing for hours on end can cause your body a lot of stress, and, in some jobs, access to seating is seriously limited (even on breaks!). So whether you’re standing on the train during a daily commute or working on your feet all day, this device gives your body a chance to rest and your muscles a chance to relax. Chairless Chair production trials are set to start in Germany with BMW in September and with Audi later this year. We’ll be sure to keep you posted!
