People who work at a computer all day require the support of an [ergonomic chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-ergonomic-office-chair), but the kind of stool that drafters need looks something like the Ergo Bench by Luis Ferreira.

The main reason why a different sort of seat is best suited for designer is because a lot more range of motion is explored as one makes great pencil strokes and measurements across large plots of paper. A blueprint or a working floor plan may require a closer look, a distanced perspective, and often the draftsman will be getting up and down constantly, bothered by a backrest or chairs' arms.

This particular contraption accounts for the flexibility an artist demands in front of his easel or [inclined drafting table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herman-miller-spout). The Ergo Bench can be [adjusted in height and angle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/newtral-freedom-x) to offer the perfect perch for the creative genius.
