Whether it is media practitioners who code words every day, or programmers and designers, digital office is now widely used in various industries. Often, everyone's office rhythm is to sit in front of the computer for a whole day, which creates great pressure on the cervical spine and lumbar spine of modern people. In the long run, occupational diseases are almost inevitable, Therefore, for their own health in the coming decades, work chairs are definitely worth considering. Let's take a look at the mainstream "luxury" work chairs on the market.
Flagship Chair
Herman Miller Embody
Reference price: 9500
If you want to choose a king of working chairs, the Embody working chair produced by Herman Miller is naturally the king's choice. As one of the most well-known and expensive working chairs, Embody's unique spine and back support design can be regarded as a model of ergonomics. Different parts of the seat are divided into different support areas, catering to each person's different spine curves, and providing maximum support for the spine to meet the requirements of "sitting in a chair at any angle is the most comfortable posture". However, everything will not be perfect. Herman Miller also has his own insistence - there is no headrest. Herman Miller's designer believes that his chair has provided enough support for the spine. If you really use it in the recommended way, you don't need additional support from the headrest.
The challenger of the chair emperor Okamura contessa II in Okamura
Reference price: 9100
If Emma modestly claims that he is the second working chair in the world, then perhaps only contessa from Okamura can claim the first place. As a representative of Japanese household products, Okamura has made great achievements in office equipment. It has made a breakthrough among a large number of European and American factories and has become the brand with the richest product line and the longest market test. As the flagship product of Okamura, contessa has a unique support design, that is, the back is connected to the base with a reinforced strut, which can provide strong support while maintaining the soft and breathable back. Of course, the abnormal spine support of Embody may be inferior, but it is still an excellent product. In addition, Okamura officials can provide a variety of optional accessories, such as different styles of headrests. Users who need neck support and are suffering from Herman Miller's lack of official accessories can consider it.
European Romance Vitra Pacific Chair
Reference price: 8000
Different from the first two ergonomic products, Vita, a legendary household brand from Europe, pays more attention to the overall beauty of appearance, and its design is relatively simple and traditional. Both Herman Miller and okamura are driven by functionality. In order to achieve perfect ergonomics, they are extremely versatile in design. The products have a strong sense of modernity and industrial style, and even have a somewhat grandiose shape. Vita inherits European elegance and romance, and never compromise in appearance design. It hides all adjustable parts under the cushion, so as not to be damaged by functionality. This design concept has also been appreciated by Apple's chief designer Jonathan Ive, and the Pacific Chair has also become the official office chair of Apple Park.
Herman Miller Aeron, the old and strong chair king of the past
Reference price: 8600
Before the birth of Embody, Aeron was certainly the king of ergonomic seats. This classic model has been more than ten years. In terms of adaptability, Aeron is not as broad as Embody. Users need to adjust it according to their own needs, but it is still a comfortable work chair. Now, this classic product has been adjusted in some details and replaced with more modern materials, and version 2.0 has been launched. Aeron also stands tall and shines with new vitality, and still sits firmly in the second place of Herman Miller. For users whose budget is not particularly sufficient or who feel that the Embody model is too avant-garde, they may want to consider this market tested product.
Choice of mid tier mainstream
Flagship performance midrange price Steelcase Leap
Reference price: 5000
Compared with Herman Miller, Steelcase is much more low-key, especially in the domestic market - it only accepts batch bookings or overall solutions from enterprise users, and there is no retail channel, which means that Steelcase is basically out of touch with domestic users. However, in terms of single wheel products, Steelcase obviously has enough strength to break with Herman Miller, including office chairs, guest chairs, desks and office cabinets. As a century old brand, Steelcase provides overall solutions for many well-known enterprises, such as Microsoft, Nokia, General Electric, etc. It is one of the most professional office furniture providers. Leap is its most classic product. The five section recline angle adjustment, thickened cushion filling, and the iconic handrails of Steelcase for front, rear, left, right, inside and outside universal adjustment of the seat cushion and the seat back are all for work.
The most artistic temperament - Herman Miller Sayl
Reference price: 4500
Of course, as the most famous working chair provider in the world at present, Herman Miller, in addition to the super high-end chairs, will not miss the broader middle end market. Sayl is the leading actress. Although it is a mid-range product, Sayl's bright color matching and light structural design make it have the most beautiful appearance design of Herman Miller series. The mesh seat back integrated with the seat gives consideration to both elegance and support, which can be said to be both artistic and functional. If users feel that the support is not enough, they can also purchase an additional fake enhanced lumbar support.
Steelcase Think, the standard configuration of Fortune Global 500
Reference price: 3300
If Leap and Gesture represent the highest industrial design level of Steelcase, Think is a practical midrange product for a wider range of consumers. Its appearance is not so fancy, but its practical functions are the same. Adjustable armrests and chair backs, solid seat cushions, and patent chair backs that are breathable and supportive are all full of sincerity, This also makes it the Steelcase work chair that enterprises purchase most. Of course, you can get what you pay for. Compared with the other two big brothers, even Think, which is equipped with a lumbar support, still has a normal lumbar support. It should be noted that various optional accessories of Steelcase, such as lumbar support and headrest, need to be customized at the time of purchase and are not sold separately.
Choice of entry economy
Low profile domestic boutique Ergomax EMPEROR+
Reference price: 2600
Compared with Lianyou, which has a large sales volume, a high market share and a high popularity, Ergomax can only be called an unknown brand. As a low-key domestic household brand, Ergomax almost only relies on word of mouth, which can be said to be quite different. In terms of products, we only focus on working chairs, but the pricing is not as friendly as Lianyou. The starting price of the whole line of products is around 1700. It is not very friendly for users who want to buy an entry-level working chair experience. However, for the author's personal experience, this investment is worth it. Compared with those public model brands, Ergomax has a lot of conscience in terms of materials. The reason why EMPEROR+is recommended instead of the flagship EVOLUTION is that... a coat hanger is designed at the back of the latter chair to facilitate users to place suits, coats, etc. Although the practicality is explosive and the back support is more perfect, the appearance is really unacceptable.
First choice for entry-level seats - Lianyou Jinzhuo B
Reference price: 1400
As one of the most famous office furniture brands in China, Lianyou has a wide range of product lines, including high, middle and low end products. It has several sub brands, Lianyou, Baoyou and Jiuyou. Among them, the more famous series are Jinhao, Jinzhuo and Youioo, and the biggest sales is obviously the entry-level ergonomic office chair Jinzhuo B, The price of more than 1000 yuan can be said to be quite affordable, and it has also become the preferred office chair for many technology companies, such as Tencent. If you want to get a cheap, practical and durable chair, Jinzhuo B is obviously the best choice to get started.
IKEA Markus, the king of cost performance
Reference price: 1000
As the largest furniture retail enterprise in the world, IKEA is a household name. Its parity market strategy has won it a huge market share. Especially for young urban people, IKEA has almost become a necessary choice to supplement furniture. As the world's largest furniture manufacturer, it will certainly not miss the office field. It has launched a number of work chairs, but the most classic one is Marcus Mrkus, which is also the most distinctive one in this recommendation. Although it looks like a boss chair at first, the actual object is not huge, but the back of the chair is very long and slender, with its own headrest. Generally speaking, it is a hard work chair. The comfort is OK, but the lumbar support is slightly poor. Of course, as IKEA's product, its biggest killer is its price. The basic version only costs 999 yuan, and it also provides a 10-year warranty. It is the cheapest product in this list. It is more affordable than many domestic male model seats. It can be said that the old and the young are fooled.
summary
For modern people, it is almost normal for them to sit on the chair for a long time when they work with computers every day. In the long run, there will be great pressure on the spine. Cervical vertebra and lumbar vertebra are the hardest hit areas of occupational diseases. For your own health in the coming decades, an ergonomic seat that can help you correct your sitting posture is definitely a profitable investment. For your own waist and cervical spine, move quickly.
