Ergonomic chair for teleworking: what changes compared to the office

The short answer is that the body does not change by working at home: the chair needs the same regulations as in the office, seat height, lumbar support and a backrest that accompanies movement. What changes is the context where that chair will live.

Does the same chair work as in the office?

Yes, and it is the recommendation. The days at home are usually just as long, and often worse in posture because there is no designated station for working. Lowering standards because it is the house is exactly the opposite of what is appropriate.

What to look at if the space is small?

The size of the base and backrest. A high-back chair in a bedroom or living room takes up a lot of visual space. Mesh models look lighter and take up less space, and some allow you to lower the armrests so that the chair fits under the desk and disappears at the end of the day.

Also the floor: office casters are intended for carpet or commercial hard flooring and can mark the wood of a home. It is solved with the correct type of wheel or with a protective mat.

Can the company buy chairs for its team at home?

Yes, and it is a case that we deal with: the purchase is made by the company, a model is standardized and shipped to each home. This way the team works with the same standard wherever it is, and the company maintains a single reference to replenish or add.

It is the simplest way to take care of the ergonomics of people who work distributed, without leaving them to solve on their own with what they find.

Where to try it before deciding?

The models from the catalog are in our Santiago showroom. For a purchase from the company, it is advisable for more than one person to try it, because a chair that fits well on the average person may look bad on someone who is taller or shorter. Our team is available to discuss your project.
