Wilkhahn ON Chair Moves When Your Body Does

How many hours do you spend in front of the computer? Does your back hurt? What about your joints and in particular your knees? There’s no point in denying it, the more time you spend at your desk whether at work or at home, the more likely to visit the doctor for a work-related condition.

In order to be as efficient as possible at work you should be as healthy as possible. The chair and the desk you’re using are just about as important as that computer in front of you. And since we did show you all the latest laptops and desktops out there, maybe it’s time to offer you a seating solution too.

The ON comes from the German office furniture maker Wilkhahn and from the looks of it, the ON sounds like a great addition to one’s personal workspace. The ON uses the Trimension technology which is a mechanism that follows the “positions functions and scope of movement in the knee and hip joints.” In other words, sitting becomes less tiring and therefore you’re less likely to feel various kinds of pains. In fact it seems that the Center of Health at the German Sport University Cologne has confirmed that the ON will activate the whole metabolic system. That sounds like something I’d want to have active while I’m focusing on the screens in front of me all day long.

The ON lets you move forwards, backwards and sideways without leaving the chair. That way you activate various group muscles which are otherwise ignored while you’re sitting. So whenever you need to move around, the ON will follow your posture. The chair’s pivotal sections follow the position and movement of the knee and hip joints while keeping your center of gravity in perfect balance. In other words you can move as much as you want to any direction without worrying about unwanted accidents.

The ON is available right now and it comes with a price tag that will make you think twice before buying. The chair costs around $850 but we’re talking about your health here. There’s no price for that, is it?
