Design story

The Embody story began in the design studio of Jeff Weber and  Bill Stumpf. They had an idea: “What if a chair could positively impact people so they can work and live better?” As Embody’s designer, Weber gave the chair its function and form, building on Stumpf’s inspiration. Their idea arose out of their approach to design. “You can’t design without empathy,” says Weber, who thrives on projects that involve the human experience.

Designed specifically for people who sit at their computers, Embody’s form is driven by its health-positive features:

•    an instinctive back that fits the unique spinal curvature of each user;
•    Pixelated Support™, which distributes the user’s weight to help keep blood circulating;
•    a narrow backrest that lets users move their arms freely;
•    Embody tilt, which encourages seated movement.

These innovations provide computer users with the support they need to keep their eyes aligned with their visual display, no matter what seated posture they’re in. A new reference for comfort, Embody supports people intuitively, allowing them to be undistracted and focus on their work.
