Heller's ergoErgo chair offers health benefits and fun
http://www.ergoergo.com/. This accordian looking UV-stable recyclable technopolymer plastic chair is made with a gas injection molding process to give it stability. As a UV-resistant product, it can be used indoors or outdoors.
ErgoErgo is health inspired and can be used to strengthen core muscles, making it a useful chair for persons with back issues. An additional benefit is balance training and it keeps the blood flowing improving circulation.
ErgoErgo reminds me of the 1977 version of The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh when Tigger says of himself, "They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun." How exciting it would be to bounce, trounce, flounce, and pounce throughout the day while sitting on this fun chair? I have an accordian type office chair in my home that I love. I don't sit in the chair all day but I have a lot of fun on it.
Alan Heller says, "It is a good design at an affordable price." ErgoErgo is available in four sizes, including a children's version. The three adult sizes come in warm red, black, white, and grey. Children's chairs come in the same four colors with additional red and yellow colors. More colors are planned for production. Adult chairs retail for $100 and children's chairs retail for $75. They should be available for purchase on their website in mid-July.
