Whilst, in the main, your average office chair seems to have been designed with one thing squarely in mind – that being keeping you firmly in your place – this novel and indisputably innovative Swopper Office Chair, designed by Via, offers an altogether more liberal and (dare we say it) fun office seating solution.
Sporting a padded seat mounted on a shock absorber mechanism, the Swopper offers a healthy degree of freedom allowing the user to sway, tilt and even bounce away at will – the result being described as ‘sitting in motion’. And, far from being just plain fun, in offering such freedom of movement, the Swooper actually serves to promote a healthier posture and wholly eliminate muscles cramps that are so often associated with sitting in moulded, restricted seating for extended periods.
Naturally, as you’ve probably already guessed, the is hardly cheap in retailing for around $619 a pop, but we don’t doubt that it offers a wholly liberating experience to truly savour.
