HOW IT STARTED
A team of wheelchair seating experts— clinicians, product designers, and marketing executives—heard the same comment over and over at industry trade shows:
I wish my office chair felt like this!
These physical and occupational therapists, seating technicians, and assistive technology professionals, all people who take care of the most vulnerable sitting population—wheelchair users—got us thinking:
What about the rest of the world?
What about the millions of people sitting at desks all day, suffering with aches, discomfort, headaches, and pain?
What about gamers grinding for hours on end, constantly shifting positions due to discomfort?
Don’t they deserve an evidence-
based sitting solution?

“ERGONOMIC”
THE MOST OVERUSED WORD RELATED TO SITTING
What does ergonomics really mean?
According to Google, ergonomics is
The study of people’s efficiency in their working environment.
What does this have to do with posture and the human body?
Nothing, really.
The problem with traditional office chairs labeled as “ergonomic” is that they support the body in all the wrong places.
The body then searches for comfort (aka, sits like crap) and ends up tired and in pain, sitting and standing in sloppy postures.
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:
