flippin’ great chairs

I recently came across a couple of chairs that like to bend, flip, fold, and contort themselves in a number of interesting ways. The first has made a splash on gadget blogs and other chair blogs around the web, the Lay Flat Chair by Thanko:
This extremely clever office chair is designed to turn into a flat surface so you can catch a few z’s! Unfortunately, as far as I can tell it’s only sold in Japan (hey, it’s on sale right now!) – which is a shame, because it’s totally up SitCorrect’s alley.
Next on the flippy chairs list: Gayolab’s ‘Sitness’ series of Yoga-inspired chairs.
Again, as far as I can tell these are not yet available in the US, but boy are they cool! The Sitness series flips into a number of poses so you may change your seating position frequently (always a hallmark of a good ergonomic chair), and it is highly adaptable to a number of genuine yoga poses to boot.
Perhaps we’ll see these unique seating options on our shores soon. Until then, there’s always our specialty seating and other great options on SitCorrect.com.

Wow, what great looking/performing chairs! Let’s start a movement to get them here in the USA!

Kate, I’d like to see them here too! SitCorrect used to carry Topstar’s products before they decided to stop distributing in the US, so maybe they’ll change their minds again. :}
