Drafting Stools Aren't Just For Drafters Anymore

I see an interesting trend emerging: more and more of you in all sorts of businesses are working at higher-than-usual desks or at counters that require higher-than-usual seating.

My advice to all you "higher achievers" is to take a good look at the latest crop of ergonomic stools and drafting chairs from companies like BodyBilt, Humanscale and Steelcase.

The Drafting Chair Reinvented

Now you can get all the comfort and support usually associated with classic desk chairs in versions suitable for higher work surfaces.

The Freedom Stool from Humanscale, for instance, brings their renowned ease of use, comfort and support to new heights. (OK, enough with the puns.)

Among its other features, the Freedom has an intelligent mechanism that senses your weight and automatically adjusts to provide optimal support in every seated position. It does all this without knobs, locks or levers.

New from Steelcase is the drafting chair version of their hugely popular Leap workchair.

The Leap drafting chair incorporates technology that passively supports dynamic spine and pelvis motion. It actually mimics your spine movements as you change position.

It's an excellent product that offers years of comfort and support.
