The way we work is changing, and fast. But it's not taking away the amount of sitting we need to do. Standard office chairs today are built for people who sit in front of a monitor. But what about a chair that's built for tablets and smartphones as well?
Furniture designers over at Steelcase have built the Gesture - the first chair that supports the slouched backs and roving elbows of mobile device users.
The chair was created by making a seat and backrest move in tandem to ensure that the lower back remains supported. The bottom of the backrest will connect to a larger hinge and will be able to force the hinge close when it reclines. It will also lift the bottom of the backrest to meet the user's lower back.
