If you are one of those who spends hours and hours sitting in an office working, you must be aware of the damage we do to our spine by bad postures, even if there are very comfortable chairs equally mistreat our body by subjecting it to the torture of being seated for long periods of time, well, it seems that those days are about to end thanks to a novel invention that promises to change our habits when we sit, it is a bionic chair called LEX which is responsible for keeping us properly seated we are anywhere, no matter.
The idea has arisen on the part of Astride Bionix a company of Chinese engineers, according to them LEX is an exoskeleton that fits our legs and allows to deploy anywhere as if it were a portable chair. It's built with space-age materials, especially its ultra-lightweight aluminum.
It can support about 120 kilograms and its weight is only one kilogram which does not represent a significant weight and is totally tolerable when walking, has a base which fits the waist with a few harnesses, their legs can be bent in just seconds to sit comfortably if we bend a little. I find it very useful for those people who work in an office or are involved in urban photography.
This chair does not have a back as the traditional chairs for our back, the system is designed so that we are with our back in the best position, according to scientific studies the backs of the most sophisticated chairs hurt the back this due to the pressure that we exert against the chair with our weight. I refer to this because many have criticized this innovation for not having that support. But it seems to me that this chair should have a backup if we are going to carry it for long periods of time. In addition, I do not see it as a device to use all day if not occasionally, making a rotary use between the traditional chairs and the LEX.
This company offers models according to height, sizes S for those who measure about 173 cm or size M or L for those who exceed 184cm.
Although its appearance is a little striking it may seem strange if you see it in someone for the first time, you may think it is a person with a special condition or a prosthesis. It has received harsh criticism as one of the worst inventions however it has had much receptivity from advertisers interested in collaborating with the project.
Its price does not exceed 250 dollars and it is made of ultra-light aluminum.
I like this idea very much and I see it very useful, especially because there are many chair companies that sell us comfort but the chairs continue hurting our body, at least this is a scientific intention, a first step to correct the posture with chairs that are more comfortable where there are fewer points of support that can harm us.
Its launch was done in the Kickstarter portal where despite all the criticisms the project tripled the amount as a goal of 50,000 dollars for its launch.
Among other things it is water resistant, has non-allergic fibers for humans.
So hopefully its commercialization will be in favor of improving this first model, the group of engineers is studying more functions to adapt and give a more intelligent look to this chair of the future.
