Active Office Chair: A Multifunctional Solution to Workplace Sedentarism and Health

Active, the latest office chair innovation from Ziel Home Furnishing Technology Co., Ltd, has been recognized with the Bronze A' Furniture Design Award 2025 for its creative and health-driven design. Developed in Shenzhen between March and August 2024, the chair was conceived in response to the growing problem of sedentary behavior in modern workplaces-a leading cause of occupational diseases such as obesity, cardiovascular issues, and diabetes, as highlighted by the World Health Organization and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The Active chair stands out for its dual-cushion system, allowing users to seamlessly switch between sitting and standing positions throughout the workday. The low cushion supports a healthy sitting posture, while the high cushion elevates the user to barstool height for standing work. Integrated armrests and a footrest facilitate simple stretches and movements, encouraging users to remain active and reduce the risks associated with prolonged sitting. The chair's ergonomic design is complemented by its stackable structure, making it ideal for space-conscious office environments, and its availability in multiple colors adds vibrancy to any workspace.

Constructed from hollow iron tubes, fabric, and foam, the Active chair is both durable and easy to assemble, requiring only eight screws. Its innovative bending angle not only enhances comfort but also allows multiple chairs to be stacked, optimizing office space. The design process overcame significant challenges in balancing ergonomic support with user habits, resulting in a chair set at a higher-than-conventional height to promote upright posture and facilitate movement. The chair's patented design (China Patent Application Number: 202430611547X) reflects Ziel's commitment to improving workplace health through thoughtful, functional design.

Receiving the Bronze A' Design Award underscores Active's contribution to quality of life improvements and its role in setting new standards for office furniture. By integrating best practices in art, science, and technology, Active exemplifies how innovative design can address real-world health challenges and foster more dynamic, productive work environments.
