Every design of modern office chairs claim to be the most ergonomic, but the design of Jeff Weber and Bill Stumpf: Embody, is the most ergonomic chair out there! It even won the ergonomic award in the 'office excellence' categotie.
'Embody' has a whole philosophy behind it and a lot of study. It claims to embody not only the body but also the mind... The idea is that the body can move so freely, that your mind is not occupied with thoughts of having to move in the chair, it releases all stress and therefore the mind is free to concentrate on the actual task that needs to be done. 'Embody' supports all the pressure points the body has with the chair, which increases maximum comfort. As you can see in the side view of the chair, the chair mimics the spine of the human body. The fabric used is not any fabric, its like a skin, it breathes in and out...
Shuramata's chair 'How High The Moon' floats visully, 'Embody' does not have this visual characteristic, but if I have to believe the users, when you sit on 'Embody' its like your flaoting on air.
The description given on the Herman Miller site, sounds very promising, almost like a fairy tale, a fairy tale which I want to believe and try out some day.
