Now, a chair that corrects posture and makes you happy

**London:**A Swiss doctor has invented an office chair made from carbon shells used in Formula One car production, which he claims is not only good for your posture but is also thought to make you happier. [caption id=“attachment_421228” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] ![](https://images.firstpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/chair.jpg "chair") Representational Image[/caption] The creation, by Dr Patrik Kunzler and designer Ben Fluri, called the LimbIC is different from the standard design currently used by workers the world over, the Daily Mail reported. It doesn’t have a back or arm rests and the seat is made from two carbon shells, used in Formula One car production, which move with the user. The design, developed at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, focuses on movements of the body and helps with posture as well as relaxation. And the user is supposed to feel a sense of weightlessness - which can have a positive affect on performance, creativity and also mood. “The effortless, upright position relieves the inter-vertebral disks in the spine by avoiding pressure points,” Kunzler said. Named after the human limbic system, the part of the brain that stimulates emotion, it is believe to be the first that combines chair design with neuroscience. “And the constant, if minute, movements improve disc nutrition and build up the strength and coordination of the spinal muscles,” Kunzler was quoted as saying by the paper. “We gave the chair to a very stressed finance worker and he immediately started moving in a skiing motion, looking like a schoolboy,” Kunzler added. The chair costs USD 8,450 but Kunzler’s Swiss company Inno-Motion has been inundated with orders. Although office workers make up 60 per cent of their clientele, its also proving popular with artists, dentists and doctors. PTI
