The Danger of Chairs

02 May 2012

A brief, well written history of chairs and the dangers of sitting:   > The best we can hope for from chairs right now is a lesson on the dangers of fashion and a historical counterexample to the myth that the public acts in its own collective interest. If you want to sit healthily, you’ll have to take matters into your own hands; the best habit to develop is not to stay seated for more than ten minutes at a time. I really need to get better at taking frequent standing breaks.
