2009 Red Dot Design Award
March 9, 2009 Design, Ergonomics, Innovation, Steelcase News
Steelcase received the prestiguous 2009 Red Dot Design Award for the cobi® chair, the newest edition to Steelcase collaborative seating collection. The Red Dot award, formally known as Design Innovations, is ranked amongst the largest design competitons.
cobi was designed by Luke Pearson and Tom Lloyd of the London-based PearsonLloyd, in collaboration with Steelcase Design Studio. The chair’s design encourages users to move freely and minimizes fatigue by supporting a wide range of sitting postures. It features an elastomeric top edge that gives way when users drape an arm over the back of the chair (which, I’m sure we are all guilty of doing when sitting in a chair for longer periods of time).
Also, the seat pan flexes on three sides, allowing users to sit multiple ways in comfort. cobi caters to a collaborative work environment and combines aesthetics with performance.
cobi will be available to purchase on the Steelcase Store beginning in June. The armless version of cobi starts at $399 whereas cobi with arms starts at $439.

Walkstation in the News
March 3, 2009 Consumer Products, Ergonomics, Steelcase News
Check out this not so recent Today show clip about the Walkstation that I just happen to come across today. The clip discusses how Mutual of Omaha Insurance is experimenting with the Walkstation treadmill desk. 16 employees are walking and working for 2 hours per day.
One lost one full dress size; the other lost 17 lbs in 12 weeks and others have much more energy. The hope is that employees will save on healthcare costs, take less sick days and be happier.
