For those of us who spend hours glued to our seats in front of a computer, getting a comfortable chair can seem a never-ending battle.But one chair designer claims to have created the ultimate design that can make users feel like they are weightless – the only catch is it will set them back £20,000 ($26,000).The designers claim the Elysium uses a combination of electronic joints and bearings that work together to help to create the sensation of floating in zero-gravity as they decline. The Elysium chair (pictured) costs £20,000 but its designers claim it creates the sensation of weightlessness due to the way it pivots with the body when recliningMade from a carbon fibre skeleton and milled aluminium, the chair can also be controlled using hand gestures.The chair was created by David Hugh Ltd, a Cambridge-based design firm which claims it is the most luxurious and technologically advanced chair ever created.Dr David Wicket, a bioengineer who founded the company and invented the pricey piece of furniture, said the technology that controls the movement of the Elysium chair is based on a mathematical model.
Users can manipulate it into the ideal position by shifting their weight in the same manner a motorcycle rider might do to change direction. The designers say the chair can be controlled with the wave of a hand to tilt it back into a reclined position (pictured) The chair uses frictionless bearings (pictured) to allow it give the impression of weightlessness when it moves It is made from a carbon fibre skeleton and milled aluminium (pictured) along with stitched leatherA system of roller bearings provides an almost frictionless movement as it changes position.Dr Wicket claims the movement of the chair can help to improve posture by aligning the joints in the pelvis and spine.He said: 'The zero gravity sensation is the result of a variety of things. The technology that controls the movement of the Elysium chair (pictured left) is based on a mathematical model. Users can manipulate it into the ideal position by shifting their weight so it moves with them along a series of low friction bearings (pictured right)'The body is suspended at a point of frictionless balance giving a sense of perpetual motion.'A lot of the technology is invisible.
The skeleton involves ergonomically engineered carbon fibre and aluminium parts bonded together using advanced aerospace adhesives. 'The user is connected to the outer frame via only six custom roller bearings that follow a specific path defined by my mathematical model. 'This is what effectively creates the weightlessness.' The real question, however, is whether all this is worth the hefty price tag.Our Guide to Document Holders and Writing Slopes Despite our efforts over the years to become a paperless office, we appear to be generating more than ever, and there are many scenarios where we just can't avoid looking at a piece of paper sitting on our desk. So what do we do to avoid those awkward postures, leaning over the desk, bending our heads and twisting our necks to see the tiny writing, usually placed at the side of the keyboard? Placing you paperwork inline with your monitor and keyboard, and elevated at an angle, reduces the need to twist the head and stoop over the desk to view the documents.
It is one of the best ways to achieve a relaxed and neutral posture in most office environments, but also works best when using a product that allows you to pull the document holder forwards over your desk to act as a writing slope - such as the Flexdesk 630N » Product Range » Zero Gravity Chairs PADDED ZERO GRAVITY CHAIR WITH WOODEN ARMS ZERO GRAVITY CHAIR 4 X 4 TEXTILENE CHAIR ZERO GRAVITY CHAIR TEXTILENE CHAIROrder Hotline: 0871 911 7000 Calls cost 13p per minute plus your phone company's access charge.
