Your office chair isn't doing you any favors. It might feel comforting to sink into its leathery depths, or to suspend yourself on a futuristic, breathable netting, but your back knows otherwise, and all that lounging will eventually trouble your spine. Standing desks are great, if you like varicose veins, so what can you do?
Try the Wigli, a Dutch stool which, well, wiggles. It has a three-legged milking-stool design, and the round seat wobbles. This offers support for your office-bloated body, but you have to steady yourself with those rarely-used muscles in your lower back and abdomen, which strengthens your core and stops you getting back pain. It's kind of the grown-up version of sitting on a ginat rubber ball.
The seat of the chair is covered with a thick layer of rubber, for grip and warmth, and the hinge is also rubber, claimed to be indestructible. You can buy the Wigli is two sizes – 45 cm and 48 cm (17.7 and 18.9-inches) high, for €300.
