The result of the hosts received a full-fledged seating area with a sofa and a well-equipped place to work. A small writing desk is worth the right of the window. On the side of the table. The opposite wall is the open rack for books and souvenirs

In the opposite case, all the efforts of the manufacturers provide you with comfortable working conditions will go to Nammark. Forward the queue, delivered from the store the chair must be customized to your individual dimensions. Place the seat so that the legs do not hang out in the air, and the feet were exactly located on the floor or a special stand.

Supremely: sitting on the chair, you need ... move. It stimulates muscles and blood circulation, allowing the body to constantly stay in a tone and not to get tired for a longer time.Models from the office

Smooth landing
If you are going to work at the table for a long time, forget about ordinary chairs. The appropriate option should be sought among office chairs, which are designed taking into account the structure of the human body and are equipped with special adjustment mechanisms. You can adjust the height and depth of the seat, the height of the back, as well as the position of the armrests. Adjustment levers are located directly under the seat, it is easy to reach them without getting off the place. The front of the seat of the office chair is rounded and has a slight deviation down. This reduces the pressure under the knees, and the legs do not count. In addition, the seat is an anatomical form. In the center there is a slight recess. If you sit on a horizontal surface, the lower back area takes the form of an arc, which gives an uneven load on intervertebral discs. The upper part of the back should be somewhat lower. With this configuration, the back is well supported by the body and gives hands the freedom of movement. Headrests are provided with extracotim models. They definitely fix the position of the head, not allowing a person to slouch. Some office chairs can be equipped with wheels with retainers, which, if necessary, impede movement. For upholstery today, various tissue is used.
