1. Ergonomics and Unmatched Comfort
The LEITZ ERGO chair stands out with its unique triangular seat. The 9 cm thick double-density foam padding ensures that sitting is soft yet stable:
- Weight Distribution: The firm ergonomic core evenly distributes body weight across the pelvis, avoiding pressure points.
- Health Certifications: Developed in collaboration with the German IGR Institute, it complies with DIN 26800 EN ISO 15537 standards and holds TÜV and GS safety certificates.
- Thigh Comfort: Soft edges reduce pressure on the legs, making the chair suitable for both full sitting and leaning positions.
2. Active Movement While Working
The secret of this chair is the rounded wobbling base. It allows the user to perform small rocking and twisting movements, which are extremely beneficial:
- Back Strengthening: Constant micro-movements activate the back and spinal muscles.
- Improved Circulation: Movement prevents leg numbness and maintains alertness throughout the workday.
- Safety: The non-slip rubber base ensures stability on any floor surface.
3. Versatility and Sustainable Design
LEITZ ERGO is not only functional but also aesthetic and sustainable. The pneumatic 25 cm height adjustment range (57–82 cm) allows the chair to be adapted to any height and any desk. The compact design allows it to be easily hidden under the desk, and a special handle under the seat facilitates transport.
Verdict
The LEITZ ERGO active standing chair is an ideal choice for a dynamic office. It forces your body to move where a regular office chair restricts it. It is an investment in health that pays off with better well-being and reduced fatigue after a workday.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the chair suitable for a standard height desk?
Yes, but it is best utilized with height-adjustable desks as it allows you to comfortably "lean" the body while standing (sit-to-stand principle).
Does the chair scratch the floor?
No, the base of the chair is covered with non-slip rubber, which not only provides stability but also protects hard floors from scratches.
How long does assembly take?
Assembly is extremely simple and requires no tools – you will have the chair ready for use in a few minutes.
