Heated Portable Chair

by Mark Alexander on December 21, 2009

78152If you’ve ever spent an extended period of time outside during the late fall or winter watching some sort of parade, sporting event, or interpretive dance, you’ll have no doubt A) had plenty of time to re-examine your life and B) wished you’d brought a chair. Now add C) to that list: wished the chair you didn’t bring was heated.

According to Hammacher Schlemmer, “This is the only portable folding chair with a heated seat.” It costs $120 and “undetectable carbon fiber heating elements woven into the chair heat from 120º F to 140º F to warm your legs and posterior.” Now we’re talking.

The built-in battery is good for four hours on the lowest setting and two and a half hours on the highest setting. Recharge time takes about two hours and can be done via standard AC or using the included automobile adapter.

Last but not least, the chair supports up to 275 pounds, there’s a fold-out cup holder, and three pockets for stashing some snacks, magazines, and anything else that’ll make the time spent watching 22 six-year-olds chasing a soccer ball in the wrong direction go faster.

Monica Förster’s Lei – A unique office chair tailor-made for women

by Levi of eOffice News on June 18, 2009

It seems that most office chairs you see are typically designed for men. I’m pretty surprised at finding out that chairs should be made according to sexes. Men and women have distinctly different sitting habits, men tend to slouch against their backrests, while women lean forward or sit on the front of their seats. This makes women far more prone to back pain. Monica Förster, a Swedish designer has found a solution to this problem by making the first task chair exclusively tailored to women called Lei which means ‘Her’ in Italian. Here you will find a clever concept that has a back cushion that moves backward and forward to support the lumbar region as the user shifts in her seat. It is made with the dimensions of a woman in mind. For instance, it is smaller than chairs made for men and the arms extend from the back to comfortably fit a woman’s shapely hips. So now as woman are catching up with men, they are also getting seats tailored especially for them. The feminists will certainly rejoice at this. You can find out more at OfficeLine.
