This marvel of engineering is being hailed as the ultimate office chair, but it also comes with a hefty price tag of $26,000.
Elysium is the creation of Dr David Wicket, a British inventor and furniture designer who also carries a PhD in bioengineering. During 10 years of research, he was able to develop an equation that defines posture and gravitational force, which later became the backbone of this innovative chair.
According to the chair’s official website, there is a spot between lying and sitting up when your weight is evenly distributed and your body passes through zero gravity.
“This results in sensory attenuation which is the principle of flotation therapy,” the website claims.
