TAO-Wellness is developing the TAO Chair as a follow-up to its debut prototype, the TAO WellShell, which it showed at last year's CES. That slick, smartphone-sized portable looks like a design-forward mouse or set-top box but is actually a go-anywhere isometric exercise gizmo. Instead of just tracking the exercise that you do, like the countless fitness monitors out there, TAO tasks its device with actually exercising you – at home, work and on the go.
This year's TAO Chair – one of the funkiest chairs we've seen in a while – continues TAO's mission of combating sitting, the "enemy of good health," and making exercise more accessible for today's busy men and women. The prototype TAO had at CES was just a hacked IKEA chair – the production model will look much different – but it showed the heart of the design, which is the arms. Crafted from aluminum, another aspect that might change in production, the arms look like metal ribbons bent and pinched for extreme ergonomics ... or maybe torture.
