Freedom Saddle Seat

Product catalog summary
Overview
The Freedom Saddle Seat is designed for versatility and comfort, suitable for various environments such as offices, labs, and factories. It features a multi-use cushion that supports multiple sitting postures, making it ideal for both prolonged use and short meetings.

Design Philosophy
Designed by Niels Diffrient, the Saddle Seat embodies the philosophy that form follows function. Diffrient's work is known for its timeless and functional design, influenced by his background in engineering, architecture, and human factors.

Features and Specifications
  • Triangular cushion design encourages a 'saddle' posture, promoting a natural lordotic curve in the spine and reducing pressure points.
  • Height adjustable pneumatic cylinder to accommodate various users and tasks.
  • Optional foot ring and high cylinders for specific applications.
  • Available in various textiles, including wipeable vinyls for lab and healthcare use.

Ergonomic Benefits
The Saddle Seat promotes a posture that decreases disc pressure by allowing the pelvis to rotate forward, maintaining the spine's natural curvature. This contrasts with traditional stools that increase disc pressure by flattening the lumbar curve.
