  • Herman Miller’s Embody
  • Knoll’s Generation Chair
  • Humanscale’s Freedom Chair
  • Zody from Haworth
  • HÅG Futu
  • Steelcase Think Chair
  • Evolution Ball Chair
  • Kore Stool

 

Pick of the bunch not surprisingly was Miller’s Embody chair scoring a near maximum whereas the least favored was the Kore Stool mainly because it requires the user to balance on it which can be tiring after a time when muscles aren’t toned, mind you at little more than 10% of the cost of the winner maybe the result wasn’t so surprising.

Also the UK’s Financial Times weekend edition for 13 February 2010 carried an article on 4 top end models:

  • Herman Miller’s Embody Chair
  • Herman Miller’s Setu
  • Steelcase Think Chair
  • Humanscale’s Diffrient World Chair (not yet officially released)

 

With more and more senior managers spending part of their week working in their home office demand for better quality office seating appears to be on the rise.
