Herman Miller SAYL chair inspired by the Golden Gate Bridge

Image used with permission by copyright holder

The newest addition to the Herman Miller line was designed by Yves Behar, and inspired by the construction of suspension bridges. After over 1,000 sketches and 70 prototypes, the SAYL task chair was finally born. The minimalist design utilizes a frameless back with only a Y-shaped support. The injection-molded material creates sacral, lumbar, and spinal support and uses ‘hinge points’ to automatically adapt to each user’s body. At $400, the new chair enters the competition with other high-end office chairs, and makes the Herman Miller design more accessible than its predecessor, the $860 Aeron. If you’d rather see the suspension-bridge design out of the office, check out the sister set of side chairs: a similar design minus the wheels.

Why you should buy the All33 ergonomic office chair
why you should buy the all33 ergonomic office chair 1h1a1855  2

If you have yet to invest in a proper ergonomic office chair, you are seriously missing out. Moreover, you are probably doing untold damage to your back and other joints. A good ergonomic chair can set you up with perfect posture, moving weight from stress points in your back, and making your office a healthier, happier, more productive place. Right now, you can score $400 off the Backstrong C1 Vegan Leather chair from All33. It’s only $800, down from its original price of $1,200 -- a discount made possible by shopping direct at the manufacturer. At that price, buying this chair is an easy call, but this discount is far from the only reason you should invest in the All33 Backstrong C1 as your new office chair.

It’s doctor recommended
“Taking good care of your back is not something you can ignore right now,” says Dr. Travis Stork, who endorses this chair, especially now that we’re spending most of our days literally sitting at home. The wrong chair can “stiffen your muscles and tighten your joints,” he says. “You need to prevent problems by being in motion.” Dr. Stork says that the dynamic qualities of this chair can assist with that motion. The seat of the All33 Backstrong essentially hangs from the arms, like a swing, so there’s movement, which allows you to maintain good posture throughout the day.
It’s slouch-proof and more
The seat, or saddle, is designed to match your lower back and rear end, allowing ergonomic movement and providing lower thoracic support and ideal posture. The effect here is that it cradles your lower back to take stress off of pressure points and give you ideal posture. The result: Less pain in your shoulders, neck, and back. This chair doesn’t just support you, it saves you. The movement its unique design creates allows an increase of oxygen and better breathing, which will make you feel better and more energized. It also stimulates blood flow, which is known to reduce fatigue from sitting.
