Posted on by

Having an ergonomic seat is important not only for children but also for adults. Getting a comfortable chair for study or work is essential, but it may not be enough. You need something that you can use anytime, anywhere if you want to maintain correct posture all the time.

No, you can’t bring your chair everywhere. What you can have instead is something like this Ergonomic Portable Seat. The new product design is mainly for those working at home since this kind of remote work setup is becoming the usual environment for many people.

Designers: Farhan Syahmi and Shah Alam

Ergonomic Portable Seat Concept

Ergonomic Portable Seat is actually a project of two student designers for their product design course. Farhan Syahmi and Shah Alam made the special seater intending to offer comfort while sitting during long hours at work. You can move it with you to sit on your work chair, the sofa, and even on the floor.

Sometimes, you just need to have a different view when working at home. It’s okay to move around but make sure your comfort is not compromised. You can move to the dining table or maybe out to the patio. Perhaps you can choose to work by the pool or the beach. Wherever you decide to work for the day, just bring this Ergonomic Portable Seat with you.

The seat cushion is made of polyester material. The outside form is yellowish pearl, giving a more elegant yet modern appearance. The main case of the seating is made of Polyurethane plastic to offer a support structure that also ensures strength to the body shell of the seats.

The Ergonomic Portable Seat features a clamshell design. This makes the product easy to carry and use anywhere. The intention is to promote proper posture, which many people forget, especially in remote settings.

Good posture is a must as this helps improve one’s well-being and health. It’s an admirable goal, but some people need help and be reminded. Hopefully, the Ergonomic Portable Seat will be a valuable reminder.

The form of the seat encourages you to sit properly. We’ve seen something similar but what makes this better is its portability. You can fold it and carry it anywhere without being too bulky. If you can bring your laptop with you, you can also bring this portable seat.

Monom Seater Concept Design rotates and adapts to human height

Monom Seater Sample

Seating in public places is usually basic and boring. Not that form is a more critical function, but anyone can use the environment to express creativity and stir the imagination.

Design in public spaces is crucial because it can evoke many different feelings. It plays an essential role as these spaces are for the consumption of people who use them for various purposes. When it comes to public seats, the Monom Seater is potentially a winner.

The concept furniture piece is ideal for private establishments and public places that may need a waiting area or temporary sitting. It appears like an art piece or an interactive sculpture because of the rotating part. The Monom features a monumental concrete section that makes the seat stable on the ground. In addition, the wooden seat actually rotates to adjust to the height of a person.

Although we believe there are still limits to who can sit, the wooden seat accommodates different heights. There is no weight restriction but since this is only a temporary seating solution, it may still work. The wooden part appears to have a smooth finish and it’s a half-sphere that can rotate up to 10-degrees only. Kids will probably want to play with the moving part when not in use.

Designer Jurgis Judžentis knows industrial design and specializes in furniture and interior objects. The Monom is meant for public sharing, to be sat on, and to be admired. Looking at Jurgis Judžentis’ portfolio, his designs are mainly industrial as he regularly uses wood, concrete, and neutral colors. His style appears to be industrial minimalist, which is trendy these days.

The concept design by the young designer from Lithuania has the potential to become popular. The monumental concrete base is assumed to be really sturdy. We’re just not sure about the rotating seat, but we’re assuming it will be enough to carry average human weight.

We imagine seeing this Monom Seater in public spaces and even private establishments. Perhaps we can see a few units together with the BAMO Chair. They will probably look good together and may complete the look of a given public space. The design of the seat is simple yet one that will capture attention. When it comes to public seating, there are plenty of other design choices like the Surf Bench, the Blok system, the Flair, and that public seating design from Shoeb Khan.

This interactive bench design features movable wooden elements that mimic a kinetic wave!

Surf Bench is an interactive bench designed for waiting room areas and to teach us about physics, is made from dozens of movable wooden and steel elements that mimic the flow of a kinetic wave.

When you’re stuck in a waiting room and left to your own devices, you make your own fun. Whether that means endlessly scrolling through Twitter, counting the tiles on the floor, or finding how far back you can lean in your chair, waiting rooms test your imagination until time moves faster or your name is called. With a single goal of making life around us (and waiting rooms) more pleasant, South German designer Kim André Lange created Surf Bench, a piece of interactive waiting room furniture that’s designed to bring people together, keep us busy, and teach us about physics in the meantime.

Designed to appear almost like a spinal cord, Surf Bench is comprised of moving wood and steel elements that change shape when interacted with to mimic the flow of a kinetic wave. When someone sits down on Surf Bench, their weight sends a ripple effect through the length of the bench, becoming a sort of life-size fidget spinner, one of those handheld devices uses to stave off looming anxiety. Sitting down on Surf Bench, users will notice the bench’s potential to occupy our senses, attention, and tactile urges.

When we’re stuck in waiting rooms, our hands land on whatever might provide some stimulation. Expressing this human tendency in conjunction with the design of Surf Bench, Kim André Lange notes, “The Surf Bench Project focuses on humans in public waiting areas – places where people experience time. By observing these places a strong visible emotion sticks out: nervosity…By analyzing present waiting areas one object is found in most of them: the waiting bench. An object without any characteristics helping us get through that nervous time in between.”

Sending kinetic waves down the entire length of Surf Bench not only keeps our minds occupied, but educates us on the physics behind it. Providing a tactile experience that also serves to educate the public on physics, Surf Bench will keep us entertained and might even help us forget we’re waiting for something in the first place.

This seat designed for shared transportation will upgrade your commute to first class. Watch the video!

A unibody, swappable, easy to clean seating design made for the Honda Kaibun project is giving us all the VIP feels. Honda Kaibun is a conceptual autonomous vehicle design that aimed to maximize the interior space and minimize the manufacturing cost & environmental impact.

There are two models depending on trip distance and this seat is made to fit both. The two-passenger module has leaner seats and individual control screens, as well as an extendable auxiliary table to maximize space. The idea was to create something clean, inspired by the seats in airplanes. The interior of the vehicle is divided into two pods and the divider is inspired by a Japanese panel. The layout is comfortable enough for passengers to extend legs thanks to the cabin layout designed around the wheel arches of the car as well as the design of the seat. While it is designed for small-distance shared transportation, these seats can be implemented for long-distance bus and train travel too. It would significantly improve the experience and encourage more people to take public/shared transportation!
