David Brothers has spent the last 18 months developing an ergonomic chair for professional musicians. Brothers' ergonomic musicians chair is designed to provide added health benefits and comfort for those who play while seated.
The ergonomic musicians chair has three legs, an adjustable backrest and an adjustable seat. The chair can also lean forward on its rear leg to help performers "reduce the strain of the backward pelvic rotation." The chair is made out of lightweight carbon fiber and has a modern look, despite the fact that most musicians who the designer spoke to said that they could care less what the chair looked like. David Brothers' ergonomic musicians chair was featured at the Society for the Arts in Healthcare Annual Conference in Detroit, and is a 2012 Spark Awards finalist.
