Here is what Kunzler himself said recently about the evolution of the LimbIC chair

"I started with the brain; can we make a device, not even necessarily a chair, that helps our bodies & follows our brains, thoughts and activities? At the outset it was called the wearable seat, a method of affecting our emotions, concentration & mental and physical states, but also to hold the body lightly and freely, like a mother holds her baby, allowing any safe movement or posture.

From that I started investigating how body and brain work together from the point of view that the spine is an extension of our brain and the body is an extension of the spine. It was time for an experiment: Could we make a chair that, just by the way it touches you, makes you do skiing movements?

The next question was, which “state” is the most perfect, balanced, and free? We asked people & researched literature & mythology. The answer we came up with was a feeling of weightlessness, an enhanced sense of touch, motion, and self & optimal interaction and inspiration between body and mind. Things that people typically have to train for years in meditation, yoga, etc. we were able to do for you in seconds or minutes.

WHILST ALL OTHER chairs start with sitting and how to improve that with cushioning, lumbar support, whole body movement while still sitting, etc., THERE IS NO GOOD POSTURE FOR SITTING, so they are starting with what’s unnatural, bad for us, pain, etc.

By starting with the brain and looking at the body as an extension of the mind, we started with what’s good for you, what you want and what creates magic in your life: leading to the possibility of a freer and fuller expression of who you are."
