The magic chair

Ever feel uncomfortable sitting in a chair? Perhaps it is a hard, uncomfortable plastic chair. Perhaps not. Maybe you have very nice and comfortable chair, that is cushioned, but still puts a kink in your back. Well, not there is a chair for you.

Herman Miller, the creators of the Aeron office chair, have just designed a new chair, the ultimate chair. This chair will a create custom fit that goes along with the shape and contour of each individual's body, by the use of 94 coils that individually bend to the shape of the person. The "springiness" of each coil is also different, each one different based upon where it is in the chair. Some in the lower part of the chair are more relaxed, like where the top of your legs rest, so that the chair does not inhibit movement at all, where as the lower back area is stiffer so that it offers support.

I wish I had a chair like this. I could definitely use it. This is the sort of innovation we need in the world. Take something people use every day, a desk, a hat, a spoon, a shoe, even a chair, and make it better so that it is easier to use.
