The Design

About Active Cadeira de Escritório

Active é uma cadeira de escritório concebida para reduzir o trabalho sedentário. A cadeira possui duas almofadas redondas. A almofada mais baixa define uma altura de assento ligeiramente superior à das cadeiras convencionais, o que ajuda o utilizador a manter uma postura sentada ereta. A almofada mais alta situa-se à altura de bancada, permitindo que a mesma cadeira apoie o trabalho em pé. Um apoio para os pés permite relaxar as pernas durante o trabalho em pé. Os apoios de braços possibilitam alongamentos simples e ajudam o utilizador a levantar-se após longos períodos. A estrutura é feita de tubos ocos de ferro curvado, com tecido e espuma, e as cadeiras podem ser empilhadas para poupar espaço.

Production Technology: The main materials for the seat are hollow iron tubes, fabric and foam.The iron pipe is formed by bending and users only need 8 screws for installation.
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: Occupational diseases caused by sedentary behaviour are a common health problem that is widely studied and discussed.The World Health Organisation (WHO) and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) state,that prolonged sedentary behaviour is associated with a wide range of health problems, including obesity, cardiovascular disease and diabetes.Promote the reduction of sedentary time through increased activity time, simple activities, and standing offices to prevent occupational diseases caused by sedentary behaviour.
Inspiration: In the workplace, sedentary behaviour has become the norm, bringing about a series of occupational diseases as a result of maintaining the same posture for long periods of time.How to avoid being sedentary became the subject of our research.
Project Duration: The project started in Shenzhen in March 2024 and completed in Shenzhen in August 2024.
Operation Flow: 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.
