Description

Lack of movement and a reduced body awareness have now become some of the greatest health risks of our modern, sedentary society in everyday office and home office life. Conventional ergonomic seating furniture, however, usually does not demand sufficient physical activity.

“Malía” serves to integrate preventive, health-promoting movement directly into everyday working life as an intuitive, permanent component without conscious effort or technical barriers.

For this purpose, the seating furniture uses an innovative, completely powerless air cushion system with a mechanical one-way flow control valve. When sitting down, the seat surface resembles an unstable exercise ball and has a movement-promoting effect. Over a period of 20 to 30 minutes, the air escapes quietly, making the cushion noticeably firmer. This tactile stimulus acts as a subtle impulse for a change of posture or a short break. When standing up, the cushion automatically fills with air again.
