This Standing Mate<\/a> ergonomic chair is as innovative as it is bizarre. Designed by Chinese furniture brand Newtral<\/a>, it features a sort of tongue that lays on the floor.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The idea is that you can stand on the tongue, and your body weight anchors the chair in place, allowing you to use it in novel ways:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now that is some outside-of-the-box thinking. Regardless of whether or not it succeeds on the market, it’s an example of original thinking from a Chinese manufacturer; more companies like this will help the country shed their old rep.<\/p>\n

The Standing Mate is up for pre-order at $237 a pop. They expect to ship in April. <\/p>\n
