Why the W-Chair was Created answers need fora new concept in chair design

to correct bad posture and support good posture

ORIGIN: Necessary ChairBrand development background and designer of wooridul chair

Classic chair design for study and work use

SEAT: supports the majority of body weight while sitting

BACKREST: support user s back while sitting

BASE-LEG: classic chair design for study and work use

Most chairs require the user to keep the spine in an S-shape position(when viewed from the

size) to maintain proper posture, but it is difficult for the user to set the posterior down deep,spread the back and rest it against the in the proper position.

Analysis of Chair Usage Patterns by Consumers

ORIGIN: AnalysisBrand development background and designer of wooridul chair

Research in ergonomic chair design focuses onimprovements in backrest and lumbar support and offersadjustment options for a wide range of body measurementswhile providing effective support for the users upper body

weight.

The average person spends most of his/her study or worktime seated. But instead of resting the back continuously

against the backrest, there is a tendency to lean forwardfrom the backrest or bend the back.

during desk work times.The W-chair adequately disperses weight pressing down on the back to other body parts(chest, elbows, feet)The W-chair reduces pressure to the thighs and crook of the knee facilitating smooth blood circulation and improvingwork/study efficiency.The W-chair assures correct posture and prevents distortions in spinal curvature.

Well let you know why you should use W-chair in detail

A New concept chair for healthy spine and high power of concentration

What are the differences between W-chair and the others?

Why chest supporter?

The analysis results of students and office workers who spend most of the time during theday sitting on chairs show that they keep their upper bodies detached from the back ofchairs. In other words, general chairs have limitations in solving fundamental problems ofchair design unless users put voluntary efforts in maintaining right postures. Therefore W-chair is designed to support chest area, relaxing users back muscles and spines to the

forward direction to keep comfortable postures.

Why pelvis supporter?

It functions to keep users waist part which is leaning forward as normal waist curve line bysupporting backside of the hip and pelvis as it pushes forward. The airplex material whichis applied on the left side for the first time in the country steadily backs up the lumbarpart by pushing the pelvis forward as air gathered back and when sitting

Well let you know why you should use W-chair in detail



Why foot rest?

Placing feet on the foot rest when you sit on the chair makes an ideal angle with the knee.If the hollow of the knee is positioned higher than the seat, it helps maintain right posturesby helping blood circulation and equal distribution of weight on left and right side. Thefoot rest of W-chair has been made with superb technology and patent application hasbeen made.

Why autonomously fixing caster?

For over 40kg weights, autonomously fixing caster prevents posture changes when sittingand maintains the correct posture, helping promotion of the tasks and learning effects.

Why ergonomic design?

W-chair is designed to adjust to various body shapes of users and posture changes. Chestsupporter provides convenience because it can adjust tilting angle in forward direction andconvert to backstay due to rotation in 180 degrees. It has up and down adjusting functionaccording to heights, and can be used regardless of age.
