12) An ergonomic chair you won’t fall off from

Moove is an ergonomic chair that incites the emotional centre of the brain and enhances energy, focus and creativity. Inspired by Dr. Patrik Künzler’s LimbIC chair, Moove combines its seat division enabling more physical pliability with a more elegant aesthetic at a lower cost. Drawing on the heritage of affordable plywood chairs, Moove offers a warm and medically beneficial alternative to the common ergonomic chair.

15) For those who love minimalism

INA chair is a furniture solitaire. Its design is based on minimalism of material. The main idea is to emphasize the visual lightness, as well as the physical one, and to create a new architecture of a chair. INA features two intersecting pieces of wood with a spot to sit on. - - www.ina-chair.com. - - #chair #furnituredesign #letsdesigndaily @letsdesigndaily
