Noonee from Zurich (Switzerland):
The Swiss company has developed a body-worn seat for production workers. The posture support is worn on the legs in a similar way to an exoskeleton and allows normal walking thanks to several joints. If the wearer needs to remain in a squatting or sitting position for a task for a longer period of time, the joints can be hydraulically stiffened at the touch of a button. The chairless chair weighs 4 kg and allows the user to quickly switch between standing, sitting and walking.
