The Genidia is a new concept office/posture chair with cutting edge aesthetics, breakthrough bonding design and interactive sitting posture engineering.
Its twisted structure optimises strength, allowing it to create a consistent thin edge throughout the entire frame. A custom integrated mechanism offers many areas of adjustment without disrupting the chair’s flow.

After turning on the device, if the user has an incorrect sitting posture more than a minute, the device will be activated to alert the user.

Mesh. We know it to be a breathable fabric and we’ve had experience of it in the lining in some of our outdoor coats and jackets. Creating a second layer in the garment, the mesh allows the air to circulate and we feel more comfortable within ourselves. So what about a mesh office chair? Well, Ergohuman have embraced this fabric in their range of stunning ergonomic office seating and they haven’t just stuck to one colour either. Ergohuman has many different models of ergonomic office chair and, while you might be tempted to say “it’s only a chair”, you’d be wrong on this occasion. These chairs offer so many adjustments that, when your chair arrives, you can tailor it to your specific needs. Maybe you are short or you are tall. Maybe you have a slight frame, or you have a larger one. Maybe you already have a bad back and you want to know that your chair is working with you, (add your own name here), in mind.
So pick the chair for you.
Now let’s go for mesh and spend some valuable time deciding which colour works for you.
So, why mesh?
Well, we’ve already talked about its breathability in clothing but what about in office chair format? Remember that you will be sitting there for several hours up to lunch time, several more afterwards and that sitting for prolonged periods can make you fidgety. The flexibility of the mesh, as opposed to leather or any synthetic fabric, makes movement more accommodating, allowing you to find your best sitting position and to feel ready for commitment to the job in hand.
And colour?
Colour really does have an effect on one’s emotions and wellbeing. Think no further than the ancient Chinese, and still thriving, practice of feng shui, where the right colour in the right place can affect your health, welfare and fortune. Give me yellow or green and I will feel so positive and energetic. Maybe blue or red are the colours which do it for you. Colour really is important to your psychological comfort, so there are lot of advantages in introducing colours into the workplace.
Colour can help with so many areas of working life:-
• If a company has a corporate colour, furnishing their environment with that colour states togetherness
• If the company wishes to show its eco-friendly interests, green will go a long way to displaying that commitment
• Modern office environments do now display colour (feng shui in operation, or maybe simply personal preference) and the eye focuses on a brilliance of light, rather than a dirge of indifference.
If the individual chooses their own favourite colour, not only does it have the psychological effects already mentioned but, once the chair adjustments have been personalised (seat height, armrest adjustments etc.), it will be easier for the chair owner / user to be sure that they are sitting in their own chair. To explain this, imagine a group meeting, where every employee pushes their ‘same colour’ chair into a circle for a get-together or a team build and then, after lunch, they can’t identify the one that was adjusted to their personal needs. Colour does have importance. Imagine a packet of smarties all in one colour …. .
When the ergonomic office chair meets the needs of the employee, the employer also benefits. Going for the Ergohuman office chair range, a mesh upholstery and the right colour for the ‘sitter’, you’re already ahead of the crowd.
I love to sit with a straight back but, referring back to that manager in a residential home, or any job where that budget seems to overwhelm you, you can find yourself glued to your seat, tossing figures around in your mind and easily forgetting that you should have gone home hours ago. And that’s when I realised I wasn’t sitting upright anymore but was, at times, sprawling across my desk and suffering the consequent pain.
The higher up you get in office life, the less likely you are to take a real lunch break. And office life doesn’t only occur in an office. A strange thing to say I know but even a manager in a residential home is working in an office, so you see what I mean. While computers were to reduce paperwork, I suppose they did reduce the ‘paper’ element but they didn’t reduce the need to fill in forms, hence the need to be comfortable when you’re sitting at your desk.
A good ergonomic office chair will encourage you to sit up properly. It will have all those whizzes and bangs that, when you adjust them to suit your frame, you’ll want to own those changes, to make use of them and, as you’ll find out, to benefit from them.
Take the Nefil Office Chair model by Ergohuman as an example. Coming in a mesh upholstery, it’s a breathable material which is already giving you comfort. With its adjustments of seat height, seat tilt and glide, you can get your perfect sitting position. Have you ever sunk into a sofa that is too low and too squidgy and, though it might feel good as you drop into it, it’s not really a comfortable experience? Well, getting that seat pad of the Nefil just right for you means that you’re guaranteed comfort, that you can enjoy the experience and that coming and going, as office life demands, become second nature actions.
The Nefil ergonomic office chair also has an in-built lumbar support panel which, when you’ve adjusted the seat back to make that lumbar panel meet with your lumbar region, you will be hugging your back and keeping you in comfortable working posture. A good example when talking about chairs is think of carrying a bottle of wine in a suitcase, without padding like wrapping the bottle in a tee-shirt or two and then fixing it in position inside your suitcase. Something’s going to give, isn’t it? While you might b able to replace the bottle of wine the same day, getting the pain out of your body as a result of sitting badly isn’t going to be so quick. So, yes, supporting your lower back really is important, as it goes towards supporting all-round good health.
And when that Nefil ergonomic office chair comes in a super colour of your own choice, it’ll feel just as good as that personally-chosen wine tastes. You might also want to have a look at the Ergohuman Office Chair from the same family.
