Polo Chair
Polo is a conceptual office chair that provides just as much comfort and support as necessary. Instead of supporting every single move the chair encourages you to move yourself to prevent muscular atrophy from too much sitting. The base for instance is not equipped with wheels and thus forces you to walk, rather than roll, from one place to another. Despite their ergonomic advantages, saddle chairs are today mainly found in the context of medical practices. A mesh fabric was deliberately chosen to encourage greater acceptance of saddle chairs in the office. The mesh fabric also ensures ventilation when sitting. The Polo chair is adjustable in height from 60 to 80 cm. Thus, it can be adapted to different users and various table heights. For easy movement, the chair has a prominent handle on its front. In addition, the base acts as a large wheel when transported around the office.Â
