VECTOR
Role: Personal project
Disciplines: Industrial Design, Strategic Research, CMF & Prototyping
Scope: 3 weeks
Completed: Spring 2022
Vector is a chair designed to prevent back pain and have a better posture. The round, simple, and futuristic design helps make it compatible with various spaces. Besides, Vector follows the therapeutic ideology of sitting on a yoga ball and achieving a correct and stable sitting position. The ergonomic backrest helps to support your back, as well as the integrated ball at the bottom influences a “controlled unstable” base. In addition, this ball enables you to move freely, and the supports at the bottom help prevent any falling.
Back pain affects 577 million people yearly and has been the leading cause of years lived with disabilities since 1990.
A chair designed by people, for people.
“Controlled instability”
Vector plays on the idea of sitting on an unstable base to have more balance and improve core strength and sitting posture. With that in mind, this chair has 4 feet that stop the users from falling, yet still allow full movement range.
