Seating more than four hours a day can increase the risk of a person suffering from chronic diseases, such as diabetes, cancer, and heart. Habit is what generally happens at office workers.
Office workers mostly only move when going to the toilet or lunch. Sitting too long makes them become sedentary. This lack of movement can ultimately increase the risk of various diseases.
Lack of physical activity at the office workers also inspired a French designer, Benoit Malta. He created a chair that has only two legs. Chairs 'Inactivite' This will make people more active.
This chair is deliberately less comfortable so users must maintain a sitting position to remain stable or balanced. These seats are not created to sit for a long time, but only a few hours.
According to him, the chair is an important part of life as an office worker can use 70 percent of their time sitting. To make a perfect seat structure, Malta in collaboration with ergonomic expert and a physical therapist for 9 months.
"I wanted to design a chair that not only have a visual impact but also efficient in the human body," said Malta.
Though only two legs, structures have been designed in order to prevent people falling when possess. Malta hopes seat design can encourage someone to become more active and reduce the time to sit in a day. The chair will "force" someone to move so much healthier.
