The perfect ergonomic executive chair
An executive chair promises comfort. At work. In the office. In the home office. But too much comfort is bad for people. Because "comfortable" in executive chairs usually means cushions and backrests - but little freedom of movement and space to sit. But people need movement to stay healthy. It is therefore alarming and significant that adults today spend an average of 11.5 hours a day sitting. (Source: Katzmarzyk and Min-Lee, 2012) And bosses usually spend even more. If you add seven to eight hours of sleep, mathematically there is very little time left for exercise. However, since there are now office chairs - and executive chairs too - that enable and even encourage natural 3D movement when sitting, you can bring a personal trainer into the office in the form of an office chair.
From the old days: the leather executive chair
There is no doubt that the high reputation of the executive chair has its roots in the past. For many bosses, the heavy oak desk and a solid leather chair were the "symbols of their power". Compared to the conventional office chair, the executive chair still conveys power, a touch of luxury and exclusivity. At that time, no thought was given to adjustable seating technology, a rocking mechanism, lumbar support or ergonomic requirements for sitting in general. The only things that mattered were seating comfort and status.
How healthy is the typical executive chair?
It is a modern realization that an office chair - even one in an executive chair design - should have something to do with health. As numerous studies and expert opinions confirm today, sitting permanently in a rigid position and without sufficient movement leads to lifestyle diseases such as back pain, obesity, diabetes, arthrosis, ischalgia, etc. Today, seating comfort is no longer defined by thick cushions, a backrest at least 70 centimeters high, real leather cover, wide armrests and a representative headrest in the executive chair look. Real comfort is shown in natural movement - even in an executive chair.
Office chair with massage function?
Executive chair with massage function - that sounds tempting in terms of relaxation and seating comfort, but it is not really the solution to rigid sitting behavior, which puts one-sided strain on our intervertebral discs and is responsible for many complaints such as back pain and intervertebral disc problems. Neither the massage nor the heat function, which is also available on some executive chairs, improves these problems in the long term. What really helps is exercise.
What is an ergonomic executive chair?
The modern executive chair no longer forces the owner to adapt to it - the modern executive chair adapts to the person. Also in terms of their individual movement behavior. It not only makes movement possible - it even encourages and demands it. This not only has the effect that the ergonomic executive chair is gentle on the back, but also strengthens the back muscles while sitting.
Quality has its price
Conventional office chairs, often advertised as executive chairs, are often available for under 200 euros. However, you should definitely not save on a piece of furniture that is used intensively almost all day long. On the contrary. Investing in a good office chair is ultimately good for your health. Solid quality and good workmanship should be a given anyway. A good office chair should also have above-average technical and ergonomic functions. For example, through technology that enables free, self-controlled movement, operating functions that are easy to understand and intuitive to use, upholstery that avoids seat recesses, as seat recesses fix the pelvis and can thus severely restrict freedom of movement, and much more.
Inexpensive but still high quality
The various seating solutions from Aeris, such as the 3D active seat Swopper or the equally three-dimensionally flexible swivel chair Aeris 3Dee , are characterized by their unique 3D ergonomics, which enable movement in all directions. Here, movement is more than just a rocking mechanism and synchronous mechanism. The central components are the 3D movement element and the spring leg, which enable vertical swinging and horizontal flexibility. For individual, spontaneous and self-controlled, natural movements. Of course, ergonomics at the highest level according to the innovative concept of the spring-loaded 3D technology from Aeris has its price. The ergonomic office chair Aeris 3Dee, the active standing seat Aeris Muvman, the visitor chair Aeris Oyo and the office stool Aeris Swopper are in the middle price segment for office chairs and standing seats. In return, they bear the quality mark “Made in Germany” and are consistently based on human biomechanics. The Aeris 3Dee swivel chair even does this with 192 components developed by Aeris itself!
Modern executive chairs are not just black!
The days of grey office furniture with colourless office chairs are over in many companies. And with it the era of bulky executive chairs in exclusively dignified colours. With Aeris Swopper, Aeris 3Dee, Aeris Muvman & Co, colour is also brought into the office in addition to movement! In addition to the classic colours such as black, grey and blue, the active chair Aeris Swopper really looks good in red, green, turquoise or pale pink. And the office chair Aeris 3Dee is also available in rich red or blue as an energy highlight for the office, as well as in classic black or grey. The standing chair Aeris Muvman awaits its new owners with harmonious colours; in addition to black and grey, blue, green and red are also available.
High-quality materials – not just leather
The height-adjustable office and swivel chairs from Aeris meet individual wishes and requirements not only in terms of the choice of colors, but also in the variety of cover materials. The Aeris Swopper is available with numerous fabric covers: in velvety soft microfiber it looks particularly elegant; this material is also breathable and easy to clean. The wipeable artificial leather cover is a cotton cover mixed with 20% polyurethane. Another variant: the Stamskin hygiene functional cover. It is particularly suitable for use in the cosmetic or medical sector.
The Active Office Chair Aeris 3Dee is also available in several versions: either with microfiber or a durable, lightfast and flame-retardant office chair cover made of 100% Trevira CS. And of course - in the tradition of fine executive chairs - in high-quality real leather. Both the Aeris Swopper and the Aeris 3Dee are available with a cover made of the finest leather.
Personal down to the last detail: the individual office chair
Every person is different. This affects not only the anatomy, but also the sitting habits of each individual. Therefore, the various seating solutions from Aeris are also very individual - after all, everyone should find their own personal professional executive chair. Regardless of color and material, the Aeris Swopper office stool is available in the standard version without a backrest. This can be reordered at any time if desired. By the way: The backrest for retrofitting and the movable backrest integrated in the Aeris Swopper with backrest are height-adjustable between 110 and 116 cm and are certified by TÜV according to DIN EN 1335 for office chairs in the Aeris Swopper Work.
The Aeris Swopper is ideal for anyone who would like to move around more than before. The design of the chair deliberately does without armrests and headrests, which would hinder many of the user's activities. The Active Office Chair Aeris 3Dee with patented 3D technology offers pleasant 3D movement, but also a more classic office look with an integrated backrest. The backrest of the Aeris 3Dee is of course equipped with lumbar support thanks to the adaptive lumbar curvature. And for anyone who wants to alternate between sitting and standing more often, the continuously height-adjustable Active Standing Seat Aeris Muvman is perfect. With its innovative seat with flexzone technology to prevent pressure points on the thighs, it is a real innovation among standing chairs and a truly innovative office chair solution. The Aeris Active chairs do not require an extra tilt adjustment lever: each owner can use the 3D joint to decide for themselves which angle of inclination they want to sit at, which can be changed at any time and is completely flexible.
Seating comfort not only for the office
Primarily developed for the office, the ergonomic advantages of the Aeris Swopper, Aeris Muvman and Aeris 3Dee office furniture can also be used perfectly at home - not just in the home office. For example, if the Aeris Muvman is the active office chair solution for switching between sitting and standing in the office, it is also great in other areas. Continuously height-adjustable, it can be used as a seat or standing piece of furniture in the kitchen, in living and sales areas or in the laboratory.
A seat test convinces
If you can't believe that a 3D active chair without armrests or a backrest works perfectly as a modern office chair, you should simply try it out with a seat test on the Aeris Swopper. Retailers have numerous offers for this. Aeris also offers a special quality service: you can test the Aeris Swopper for up to 14 days free of charge before buying it - of course after a detailed, individual and also free seating consultation directly from the specialist retailer.
