Gesture Chair Inspired By Movement of Your Body (video)
Steelcase’s Gesture Chair is the first one designed to support humans’ interactions with today’s technologies and is inspired by the movement of your body, but crafted for the way you work today. Steelcase did a global posture study in 11 countries, observing 2000 people in a wide range of postures, and uncovered nine new postures as a result of new technologies and new behaviors. They studied how the human body interacts with technologies and how it responds as workers shift from one device to another. Research revealed ergonomic implications that, if not adequately addressed, can cause pain and discomfort for workers. Based on this research, they designed the Gesture to support posture changes specifically influenced by devices we use today.
