Can an ugly office chair bring about major depression? Probably not, but a snappy design in a bright color can definitely perk you up on an otherwise dreary day on the cube farm. I know whenever I see an ordinary chair upholstered in beige or gray or some drab, nausea-inducing pattern, I just want to turn around and head back to bed. But imagine having something like this to greet you in the morning.

Now that’s a whole different story! These bungee cord chairs are the new hotness in office seating these days… The elastic bands conform to your body, providing ergonomic support beyond what you get with ordinary cushioning, and they come in cheerful colors like this bright cobalt blue. Plus it just sounds cool — you probably won’t have to jump off any tall buildings soon, but if you did, this chair could help!

Check out the “Escape” here, or maybe the “Elite” — that one’s also available in red, teal green, and brown! And you can see a few similar styles here.
