Wondering why you finish the work day grouchy, stiff and vowing to quit? Your office chair might have something to do with it. So here are a few that promote better posture, greater comfort and just look all kinds of awesome.
The Workbay Chair
$8,910 from Vitra Singapore
This one scores points for its comfortable high backrest and convenient cocoon shape—great for when you want to distance yourself from annoying colleagues.
Vitra Waver
$2,325 from Space
The Waver’s proof that unusual design doesn’t have to cause backaches. It offers the same type of comfortable seating usually seen on an upholstered couch, but stands out cheerily in terms of fabric color and shape.
Generation by Knoll
$2,373 from Vanguard Interiors
The Knoll chair is a strange sight with its dangerous curves and stark upholstery, but what’s even stranger is that this work chair is said to rearrange itself in response to its user, so don’t expect it to improve your posture.
Walter Knoll—Turtle
$5,393 from Proof Living
Renowned London design team Pearson Lloyd has taken the idea of the bucket seat and turned it into this work of art, which comes with a swivel base or a four-leg base. You can choose to have your back bucket made of white or black plastic, or dressed with fabric or leather covers—classy.
Pressed chair
$995 from Jules & Jim
If you’re an advocate of good posture, this fearsome-looking invention might work in your favor.
