The Next Chair was influenced in equal parts by the summers of my youth spent skateboarding around the beaches of Sydney, and equal parts my professional life, best summarised as long hours seated in an office.
These long hours seated at an office desk has naturally led me to maintain a strong focus on correct
ergonomic posture, ensuring that I am both comfortable and properly supported in the
office; But at home, I look for ways to sit that don't instantly invoke muscle-memory of
the office, yet, like many Gen-Y professionals, I live in an small apartment
with limited space.
The Next Chair aims to solve all of these problems
by being an ergonomic, supportive chair that feels just at home next to a couch as it is does a computer desk, and implements a small footprint to minimise the space it absorbs in the room.
The next chair utilises
manufacturing techniques often reserved for skateboard production, resulting in
a structure that is both light and strong, and easily replicable for mass
production.
