1. WHAT’S NEW
IN THE
OFFICE CHAIRS WORLD?

2. A HISTORY OF THE
OFFICE CHAIR
The office chair has had a long and complex evolution. They
started to be used initially around 100 years ago when offices and
commercial services began to establish themselves. Suddenly a
new breed of worker had been born - outside of the factories and
into the offices, where people would organise and file in a world of
bureaucracy.

3. ROLL ON!
The addition of wheels was perhaps the first real innovation that
made a big difference to these workers - they could now move
freely between their desks and their filing cabinets, and wherever
else that was nearby, without having to get up. This greatly
enhanced productivity.

4. FUNCTIONAL CHAIRS
The innovation of ergonomics was the first step towards creating
chairs specifically designed to increase productivity, and there's a
little bit more to it than just adding wheels!
Chairs began to be able to move across the floor, be adjustable
on the seat height and even have tilt mechanisms. The use of
ergonomics has literally shaped todays chairs to have lots of
different features. Many materials and shapes began to take effect
on the office chair, with unique and fun designs now available.
The following office chairs are of some of todays top picks for
office furniture. Lets see who is in the line-up…

5. HERMAN MILLER
AERON CHAIR
Herman Miller office chairs are probably best known for a single
piece of design - the Herman Miller Aeron. This was an iconic
piece of design, first unleashed onto the world in 1994. The chair
incorporated a mesh design, to allow office workers to remain
cool, and adjusts itself to adapt to the shape, size and posture of
the user - this makes for a chair that is naturally adaptable and
can allow the user to undertake all sorts of activities all day long,
without causing discomfort.

6. ORANGEBOX OFFICE
CHAIRS
Orangebox Office Chairs come in a variety of shapes and
sizes, all offering a good comfortable seat for anyone to sit in.
Offices do not always need an office chair, but chairs for waiting
rooms and visitors, which is where the variety of designs from
Orangebox will make an office look swish and modern with any of
their amazing designs.

7. BOSS OFFICE CHAIR
Boss design office chairs are a good example of a manufacturer
that creates a wide range of chairs to suit a wide range of offices.
The designer chair can be used for niche appeal, with many
people desiring a retro look or whatever else - it just goes to show
that function isn't everything when you really need good form. Of
course, these sorts of chairs do have a high level of function - but
just not as high as it could be, with design taking more of a front
seat.

8. HUMANSCALE
Humanscale ergonomic office chairs are specifically used as
ergonomic office chairs. With ergonomic equipment and chairs
being more widely used in offices, these chairs do not only look
great, but the products react to your movements and adjust
accordingly to your positions to support you where you need it
most.

9. GIRSBERGER
Girsberger chairs pay close attention to detail in every respect.
Using some of the world’s finest materials and chair
designers, they have come up with some of the world’s highest
quality made chairs.

10. GETTING THE LOOK
Getting the right look for the office is important; it's not just about
function - although of course that's very, very important.
Certain chairs give off a certain vibe - and so are suited to
particular offices if they want to put across a particular mood to
their clients or employees.

11. ERGONOMICS
This fusion of aesthetics and functionality is really what
ergonomics is all about. Getting the most out of your chair when
you sit down is one thing, but with proper aesthetic considerations
you can make the user really want to sit down in the first place -
and get on with whatever they have to do.

12. THE OFFICE
Offices are continually changing and adapting, and this is
reflected in their chairs - it's something of a fallacy to suggest that
there's anything new or old in the office chairs world, because
there is always something new and old. There is always
something changing and evolving.
Whether it's an emphasis on function, on looks or a fusion of the
two - you'd better not blink because that emphasis can change
pretty darn fast in the office chair world.
