ADHD Chair
Brands are launching chairs that provide small amounts of movement and stimulation
Trend - ADHD chairs are designed to support movement and focus by providing subtle stimulation. These features help concentration and alertness, addressing the challenges faced by many with ADHD in maintaining focus, especially in environments that require prolonged periods of sitting, such as classrooms and offices.

Insight - The growing recognition of ADHD is part of a broader push towards inclusivity and the creation of spaces designed for diverse needs, with the goal of challenging conventional standards. This reflects a societal embrace of neurodiversity, with the understanding that customizing environments can significantly help communities that have been mainly underserved. As advocacy for neurodiversity grows, brands have a golden opportunity to pioneer in neuro-inclusive design, paving the way for spaces that are both more equitable and effective.
Workshop Question - How can your brand incorporate neuro-inclusive design principles to create products that cater to individual needs?
