Swing Ao
Most conventional chairs are designed based on the idea that sitting is a static state, even though the human body is designed to move. Swing Ao has a tension structure that allows the seat to move freely in conjunction with the movement of the sitter's pelvis. This promotes a feeling of floating and the movement of the pelvis, spine, and surrounding muscles, activating the body's functions just like playing on a small swing. Additionally, it can be used as a stationary stool with an 8-degree angled seat surface to maintain a healthy posture with an elongated spine.
Swing Ao Stool by Takusei Kajitani was identified as a creative illustration of industrial design by the A' Design Awards. Swing Ao Stool won the Silver A' Design Award in Furniture Design in 2022. The A' Furniture Design Award is a highly prestigious international design accolade which celebrates superior design of chairs, tables, sofas, beds, cabinets, shelves, desks, wardrobes and more.
