Dapper Off-Balance Stools

The 'Neutral Posture ONGO Stool' Keeps You Active While Sitting

— August 8, 2013 — Art & Design
In an effort to help you improve your general health, the 'Neutral Posture ONGO Stool' forces you to stay active while sitting. Since sitting for prolonged periods of time can result in many health problems, remaining active is very important. ONGO helps you do that by encouraging movement while you sit. The stool's curved base means that it shifts to match your movements. A marble set in a track on the base rolls around as you move to give you audible feedback.

The Neutral Posture ONGO Stool can easily be converted from a sitting stool to a standing stool. The chair can be adjusted between two height ranges so that you can use the chair for standing when you're energized and for sitting when you're tired.
Trend Themes
1. Active Sitting - The ONGO Stool is part of a growing trend in furniture design that encourages movement and activity while sitting.
2. Health and Wellness Furniture - The Neutral Posture ONGO Stool is an example of a rising trend in furniture design that prioritizes physical health and wellness.
