Physical activity not only affects our daily lives but also influences our development, social life, economy, politics and environment, as well as our mental and physical health. Physical inactivity and its long-term consequences are still underestimated problems. Instead of developing solutions for them, preventive health promotion should be integrated into all areas of life.

 

With our project, we are tackling a core problem of physical inactivity - sitting.
We want to make sitting more active and dynamic by straining and relieving different muscle groups. Frequent changes of position are one way to achieve this. Because: the best sitting position is always the next one.

 

As product designers, we cannot change behavior, but we can change conditions by providing school furniture that promotes movement and instruction, and we can offer students the opportunity to make their school day more active. In this way, concentration and performance can be increased in the long term.
