“360° Gliding Chair ing” is an office chair with a completely new concept to improve white-collar health and creativity. Nowadays, research confirmed that sitting for long hours not only causes white-collar workers' discomfort but also serious health issues. To address this problem, KOKUYO pioneered the innovative chair, “360° Gliding Chair ing”, which keeps a correct sitting posture by its 360° freely moving.

At the beginning, KOKUYO has released it to Japanese market in November 2017. After an overwhelming successful response from white-collar workers in Japan, the “360° Gliding Chair ing” is now ready to be introduced in Europe and other regions.

Through this exhibition, KOKUYO would like everyone to experience the state-of-the-art functionalities and innovative concept of “360° Gliding Chair ing”. Moreover, KOKUYO hopes that this will catapult the growth of the business in the world-wide market.

The feature of “360° Gliding Chair ing”

The innovative “360° Gliding Chair ing” mimics the hip-strengthening action of sitting on a balance ball. Its 360° freely moving joints move according to the fine movement of the human body. To balance chair’s movement, the body naturally and perfectly maintain a correct sitting posture. This freedom of movement keeps the hips, waist and back muscles active while seated. Body pressure is also dispersed with the movement, reducing strain on the body.
