Sitting for extended periods is often lambasted for its negative health effects but is a mainstay part of many lifestyles, which is something the 'Curble Chair' concept takes into account.
The supplemental chair accessory works by being positioned onto your choice of seat, but is particularly relevant for office furniture. The support is essentially a legless chair and is designed with an optimized seating experience in mind to use the sitter's weight to push the back support into their lower back. This could help to stave off the effects of sitting for long periods of time.
The 'Curble Chair' concept has been prototyped using a 3D printer and is designed with removable cushions, which could support different firmness levels.
