Wobble Stools

Being a big fan of of comfort and ergonometrics I just had to put together some of my favorite wobble stools. Unfortunately the stool I’ve used for years has been discontinued from what I guess is a quality issue – it tends to break pretty quickly if you wobble too much. I’ve been through about 5 of them myself. The Swopper is a high end version that is a bit loud design-wise but it works great.

A cheaper version that looks like it could work well is the Balance Point stool. At $199 it’s quite the bargain and when compared to an Aeron chair, which is just plain crap for your body in my opinion, you could pay 4 times as much.

I really like the design aesthetic of Michael Puryear’s wobble stool. It will definitely be my next purchase when I break my last wobble stool.

Dr. Gracovetsky is the funniest research presenter I’ve had the pleasure of seeing. His work on connective tissue has made him a big part of the Fascia Congress. Here is a quick interview with him.
