NEWS – If you find yourself sat at a desk for eight-plus hours a day, you need to have the best chair possible to support your health. Most chairs look the same, and the differentiator tends to be in the vein of materials or features like ‘4D arm rests’. Anthros has a different take on what makes the perfect chair, and at a glance it certainly looks unique. The design promotes support of the pelvis and lower lumbar, and incorporates a cushion design to eliminate pressure points.
The folks behind Anthros come from a background in wheelchairs, where good design and durable support are paramount. Their ethos is beyond what you would generally see from a chair company:
Ergonomics is NOT the answer to sitting well.
Anthros cares about the human body and aims to prevent pain and poor posture. We won’t use the word ergonomic. In fact, we went as far as coining the term Anthronomics.Anthronomics is the understanding and application of biomechanics (science of movement), ergonomics (work law), and anthropometrics (human measurements) in the pursuit of optimal posture and support of the human body in the standing and sitting positions. As you may have guessed, anthro (or human), is at the center of the Anthronomics methodology.
The result of using Anthronomics in our design is:
Anthros: the first chair that adapts to the human body
Anthros backs this up by not just selling chairs, but offering complimentary consultations with posture specialists. Each Anthros chair is made in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and prices start at $1900 – but may be HSA/FSA reimbursable depending on your plan.
