Bizarre New Ergonomic Chair Offers "Reclined Standing"
The Aeron chair is so dot-com, last-century, don't you think? That's why all the cool kids have moved to the Stance Chair.
OK, not really. For starters, the site that sells it won't even tell you the price, - always a bad sign in my book, and second, do you really want to be seen like this? I would use one if it flew around the office, but as a chair, why not just chain them in wearing Hannibal Lecter face masks and be done with it? And what happens if you tilt back and fall over?
Some highlights: "Neutral Seating" Halfway between sitting and standing. In this position you're in the classic relaxed posture that is assumed in zero gravity. This is the most natural posture you can assume that distributes your weight evenly."
And of course, my favorite, "Reclined Standing: This is one of the most unique of the four postures. It provides optimal blood flow, improves respiratory function and alleviates any pressure on your buttocks."
