About Active オフィスチェア
Activeは、座りっぱなしの作業を減らすためにデザインされたオフィスチェアである。この椅子には2つの丸いクッションが備わっている。低い方のクッションは、一般的な椅子よりもわずかに高い座面高に設定されており、使用者が背筋を伸ばした姿勢を保つのを助ける。高い方のクッションはバーカウンターの高さに設定されているため、同じ椅子で立ち姿勢での作業にも対応できる。フットレストにより、立ち作業中も脚を休めることができる。アームレストは簡単なストレッチを支え、長時間の着座後に立ち上がる動作を補助する。フレームは曲げ加工を施した中空の鉄パイプで構成され、ファブリックとフォームを組み合わせている。また、椅子はスタッキングが可能で、省スペースに収納できる。

- Design Challenge
- Balancing the ergonomics of the seat with the user's habits in an office setting was one of the challenges of the concept.The sitting height is currently set higher than conventional seats to ensure that the user can maintain a relatively upright sitting position.
- Research

- Project Duration
- The project started in Shenzhen in March 2024 and completed in Shenzhen in August 2024.

- The seat has two round cushions.With a low cushion for seat height, users can work in a healthy sitting position.The seat is equipped with armrests, allowing for simple movements and assistance in getting up when sitting for long periods of time.The high cushion is barstool height, allowing users to work in a standing position.A footrest is set on the bottom of the seat, so you can relax your legs when standing up to work.The switching of movements allows the sedentary body to move in order to reduce sedentary time.
