Principals at Formway Design, the New Zealand-based design group, credit the many lessons learned during the extensive design and prototyping process for the Generation chair and years of close collaboration with materials experts and product engineers at Knoll for the relatively quick two-year time span between the conception and launch of the ReGeneration chair. Formway Lead Designer Kent Parker cites the elegantly attenuated bridges of architect-engineer Santiago Calatrava as a model for his team’s strategy of using the structural diagram to dictate the overall form. By celebrating rather than hiding the interplay of loads and forces typically applied to work chairs, Formway was able to “minimize components and minimize materials so we get [directly] to performance,” explains Parker. Benjamin Pardo, Director of Design at Knoll, concurs, pointing to the designers’ use of a curve for the chair’s back as the central element and one that equally and economically serves both aesthetic and structural purposes and, at the same time, provides comfort.
“Visually there is not a lot of chair there,” notes Pardo, who explains that this economy of means not only results in an appealingly slim silhouette, it also sends a strong message about making efficient structures, and, so, by implication, the importance of conserving natural resources. And there was an added benefit to both revealing and streamlining the structure, according to Formway’s lead engineer Paul Wilkinson, who points out that “more parts add complexity and [therefore] cost,” something counter to the fundamental purpose of the ReGeneration chair—bringing dynamic seating to a wider audience.Make every chair ergonomic Perfect posture effortlessly, no matter where you sit Reduced tension on your spine Reduced pressure on your neck, shoulders and lower back Immediate relief from the pain of sitting slouched Trains your body to sit up straight over time Super comfortable, with softly padded knee and back cushions BackGenie will help you sit up straight effortlessly

Flash Furniture is one of the most well-respected manufacturers in the ergonomic community. They certainly show it in the design of this wooden posture chair. Considering all the great features it boasts, we were surprised at its low price. One of the main features we like about this product is its adjustable height and ability to fold down completely. The height adjustment will allow you to place your eye-level in line with your screen (very important in ergonomics). You’ll be able to store it flat with no issues, or transport it easily in the car between home and work. The foam cushion is comfortable on the knees and holds up well over time. The rolling base is nice, as it encourages you to move around and stay active. Place one foot on the ground and add a little movement to keep limber. Whether you’re a first timer or long time user of knee stools, you’re gonna love this product.
The Office Star Executive knee stool pulls off style without sacrificing its ergonomic value. It features a memory foam pad for both the buttocks and the shins which can be incredibly comfortable. In fact, this is the most comfortable product we’ve ever tested. It has all of the other features we deem necessary: rolling base, adjustable height, etc. Many people favor this chair for its mahogany wood finish and leather bound padding. It’s definitely going to draw some eyes in the office. Excellent value for its price. This product is pretty much the best you can get, we only knock it for its price, which is well over what’s offered by the competition. However if you’re one of those types that looks for the the creme of the crop, then look no further. The Jazzy Deluxe features all of the possible adjustments: lumbar support, height, knee pad, angle, etc. It’s padding is firm, yet extremely comfortable. The five-star chrome rolling base is flash and ergonomically excellent.
have been using the Jazzy Deluxe as our go-to since its introduction to the marketplace. Boss’s B248 is quickly gaining ground as a customer favorite. John at KCHQ has had his for over 7 years with little to no wear-and-tear. Many claim, ourselves included, that the padding is its greatest feature: firm yet comfortable. A key standout is its pneumatic air lift making height adjustments extremely fast and easy. Another one of its distinguishing features is its steel frame, a rarity among these seats. This product will last forever and will hold up against the test of time. Another amazing product from Flash Furniture, this product is the cousin of the top ranked kneeling chair on our list. The main difference is the folding mechanism, which prevents the product from folding flat completely and doesn’t give you same range of motion in the height adjustment. Nonetheless, its a great product. Sturdy wood frame, rolling base, and quality reputable manufacturer. Our team at KneelingChairHQ consists of two chiropractors, an orthopedist and and ergonomic design specialist.
