As the benchmark for pressure distribution, natural alignment and healthy movement, the Embody Chair is one of the most ergonomic chairs you could use for your workspace.
Every part of the Embody was designed to serve a very specific, healthful purpose. Bill Stumpf and Jeff Weber had the radical idea of building a chair that did more than just minimize the negative effects of sitting. They wanted to solve the lack of physical harmony between people and their technology, to create a chair that would actually help you think.
“Could we build a health-positive chair?”
This was the motivating question behind the Embody. Stumpf and Weber were determined to create a work chair that was not merely health-neutral. If a chair provided dynamic surface pressure on its user’s back, then there would be more comfort, liveliness, and health benefits. Achieving postural equilibrium, no matter the spinal curvature, was the goal.

“You can’t design without empathy,” said Weber. “Design is the connective tissue between people and the world.”
As the result of decades of painstaking design research, the Embody Chair provides function that you can see and feel. The beneficial technology it provides isn’t hidden, but a part of its aesthetic. The art of design and the science of seating perfectly combine to create the Embody.
