The Problem
We are sitting more than ever before and are seeing
increasing evidence how this affects our health. Poor posture is likely to
develop neck and shoulder problems and sitting for long periods of time is
associated with multiple health risk factors.
The Idea
A stool that gives you the optimal curve for your spine,
enabling good posture. The stool focuses on helping you achieve good posture by
actually tracking how you sit and informing you how to improve your daily
sitting habits.
The Solution
Inspired by European craftmanship the designer Ruud-Jan
Kokke developed the perfect stool – a piece of art designed to shape the future
of sitting. Zami promotes good posture and incorporates technology which
provides feedback on your sitting habits, coaching you towards a healthier
lifestyle.
Zami promotes good posture by enabling the optimal curve for
your spine.
Zami was inspired by years of research by orthopedic surgeon
Piet Van Loon who specializes in preventative care and non surgical solutions
for the spine. He is passionate about the research on biomedical science behind
good posture. He invented the TLI brace and has published research articles
about the negative effects of prolonged sitting.
