Monday blues?

we’ve come a long way . . . right?

Boy, are we lucky we’re not living in the Middle Ages, or what? This “chair” — a rather innocuous term in this context, if you ask me — was used during the Inquisition as a torture device to pry answers out of those accused of heresy, and the methods were not pretty.  (Steely-nerved souls can read all about the chair’s brutal features here.)

While the typical office chair may not make you cry out for mercy, it may cause back and shoulder pain, arm fatigue, and a whole lot of slouching.  If you’ve been victimized by these seated offenders, take a look at SeatingZone.com’s wide range of ergonomic computer chairs and specialty chairs, such as the straightforward yet stylish Screen Back with Mesh Seat Swivel Chair 3063 by Fastrack, or the posture-focused Active Balance Seat F1460 by Jobri.

Now, go forth and sit well — or else!

Chair Model

As some of us know, office chairs have the power to inspire great passion. From what I hear, the writers for The Office get this too. In the episode “Chair Model”, Michael Scott is flipping through an office chair catalog, and finds himself falling in love with the beautiful girl in the chair.

And here’s a short clip from/tribute to the episode:

Well, I can’t get you the girl in the picture, but the chair she’s sitting on looks a lot like the Offices To Go 11648B Leather Executive Chair.

Can’t you feel the love?

Breathing Chair

Ooooooooh, thanks to the folks at Crazy Junkyard for another cool chair concept!

Known as the “breathing chair“, this cool foam cube relaxes into an arm chair when someone sits in it. According to the designer, Yu-Ying Wu, it was inspired by plant cells, and it adjusts organically to the sitter’s weight and posture. Personally, I think it looks quite striking on its own, and really comfortable to sit in!

Zebra-Print

Walk into any cube farm, and you’ll see a seemingly endless swarm of black chairs, gray chairs, tan and beige chairs. Maybe a dull navy, if someone is feeling quirky.

Why not stand out a little? Nothing perks up Monday morning at the office like a safari print! This fun and funky task chair will brighten up your whole week — not to mention make it easy to tell who stole your chair while you were at lunch…

It’s also an all-around great product, featuring a thickly padded seat and back, a waterfall seat to reduce stress on your legs, and is available with two different styles of arm rest.

So bring a little pizzazz to your workstation!

A New Way to Kneel

Happy New Year!

I return to the blog bringing an awesome new addition to one of our favorite chairs. The Jobri Deluxe kneeling chair has always been one of our top sellers, combining good design with an unbeatable price. It’s the same, now, but with one significant tweak — a comfy, cushioned back rest!

Kneeling chairs are ideal for strengthening core muscle groups and promoting good posture and balance. Some people, however, have felt strained by the lack of back support — for those people, this new addition is a great solution! This new backrest gives just enough gentle guidance and support to help you maintain good posture and position, even if you’re new to kneeling chairs.

So for this New Year, resolve to eliminate your bad work habits and back pain once and for all with a kneeling chair from Jobri.

(Also available with memory foam!)

Happy Holidays!

Just because you work in a cube doesn’t mean you can’t get into the holiday spirit! This is one creative way to show your office mates you’re no scrooge… but why let all that wrapping paper be purely symbolic? As long as you’re wrapping up an office chair, make it a new one and give yourself the gift of better posture, improved productivity, and a cure for back aches and neck pain!

Have a good holiday, and I’ll see you in 2010!
