EMBODY. THE FIRST CHAIR DESIGNED TO SUPPORT YOUR BODY AND MIND.

Jeff Weber and his visionary design partner Bill Stumpf set out to create a chair that solved a problem no one else was addressing-the lack of harmony between people and their computers.

FORM AND FUNCTION ARE ONE.

This was the design principle used in the making of Embody. Every part of the chair was designed to serve a very specific, healthful purpose. None of its technology is hidden, but instead, is part of its aesthetic. After years of research and design,building, testing, then doing it all over again (and again), the art of design and the science of seating perfectly came together, creating a chair-and an idea-unlike any other.

CREATING HARMONY BETWEEN PEOPLE AND THEIR TECHNOLOGY.

Embody recognizes that people and their computers have a strained relationship. We sit and stare at our monitors for hours, motionless, clicking stuff. This lack of movement isn’t healthy- for our bodies or our minds.

OUR ECONOMY RUNS ON IDEAS.

We get paid for our brain’s daily output. So we had an idea. Why not design a chair that helps you better focus on your ideas? Big ideas. Small ideas. Small ideas that turn into big ideas.

MOVEMENT ENERGIZES THE BRAIN.

Our bodies and minds work best when they’re in motion. Movement allows blood and oxygen to flow more freely. This keeps our brain more focused. Embody lets you move like no other chair.

The world of work—and play—demands more use of technology
every day. And people are getting more sedentary because of it.
Sitters who use a chair that’s good for the body by reducing the
risk of cardiovascular disease can improve their health as well as
their cognitive performance.

Sitting is Bad for you. Meet Embody, the first chair that is Good for You.
