Active Sitting, Kneeling and Wobble Stools
Active seating is built around movement: a stool that rocks, tilts or wobbles keeps the sitter shifting rather than settling into one position for an hour. Wobble stools with a rounded base, balance chairs, perches for standing desks, three-dimensional swivel seats and kneeling chairs with padded shin rests all fall under this heading. Most people use one alongside a standing desk or as a second seat rather than as their only chair, so the height range, the stability of the base and how easily it moves around the room matter more than a long list of settings. This category covers the specialists and office brands that make them.
