Gravity chair.

This chair is called the Stokke Gravityâ„¢ balansÂ®. From the website:

From a comfortable working position to a reclined position and a feeling of almost weightless. The sloping seat allows wider space between the thigh and the upper part of the body, while the leg cushions prevent sliding forward when working at a table. When leaning back your legs will be lifted higher than your head providing you with the best position for relaxation and well-being!

After seeing the â€œfunctionalityâ€ demonstration, I want to try this out! Link

Neat stuff from the NeatoShop:

This is the manufacturer’s site. For most products, you can find a link to a retailer, but not for the Gravity Chair. I wonder if maybe its very new, and they don’t have outlets yet. Stokke is mainly a manufacturer of children’s products.

The main drawback I see is the room that those “legs” take up. You couldn’t put it near a wall, although it might eliminate the need for other chairs, like a recliner. The legs could be a hazard to pets and small children. In my living space, the only way this would fit behind my desk would be to eliminate the bed. It would have to be awfully comfy to do that!

In Europe (Germany and Austria) the Price is about 1.580â‚¬ (without shipping and more expansive fabrics like leather).

When you rock forward, does it shoot you out of the chair? THAT would be exciting!

Everyone agreed that the original “balans” chairs were comfortable, but after trying them, they went back to regular chairs.
