Chairless Chair that Lets You Sit Anywhere!

Hey Guys! Hope you liked our previous post. I was browsing through the web and found this new invention really cool. We know how tiring it is to work in a factory, warehouse, restaurant kitchen and to stand in queues and in long distance travel in trains or buses. Keeping this in mind a Swiss start-up Noonee has created a Chairless Chair. Worn as an exoskeleton on the back of the legs, it lets you walk or even run as needed, but can be locked into a supporting structure when you go into a sitting position.

Company CEO Keith Gunura started developing the Chairless Chair in 2009, when he was a student in the Bioinspired Robotics Lab at ETH Zurich research  institute. He was inspired to do so by memories of his 1st job, in which he worked while standing long hours in the packaging line.

The latest prototype, fashioned out of aluminium and carbon fiber, weighs around 2 kilograms and is good for around 24 hours of use. The device utilizes a powered variable damper to support the wearer's body weight. The user simply bends their to get himself/herself down to the level at which he/she would like to sit, and then engage the damper. The Chairless Chair then locks into that configuration, directing their weight down to the heels of their shoes, to which it is attached. It is also attached to the thighs via straps and to the waist using a belt.

The Chairless Chair is much more desirable due to the ability to turn it on and off, and the ability to accommodate a range of sitting positions. Noonee's co-founder Bryan Anastisiades tells CNN, "In addition to resting your leg muscles, it also provides optimal posture." Also the CFO tells, "At the moment we are getting a lot of interest and e-mails from all kinds of people who want use the Chairless Chair in very different areas. Our focus at the moment is the factory environments."
