Tracing the evolution of office chairs

Tracing the evolution of office chairs also gives us a glimpse into how our lives have changed over the centuries. As our society farms less and less and begins its climb toward the industrial revolution, businesses are having to rethink the work environment and develop new tools to help their employees. The office chair was invented to solve the fundamental problem of employees working in the office for long periods of time. Today's modern office worker spends over 40 hours at work, most of which is spent sitting in a chair, so finding the right combination of form and function is more important than ever.
