Portable chair extension for sedentary workers

The majority of our modern workspaces have become sedentary. Problems such as back pains, muscle contractions, discomfort, and stress can surface as we evolve into a more comfortable environment. How can we find elements of happiness in a workplace of dull routines? Acuipt (acupoint + equipt) is an artistic chair extension to enhance the environment of sedentary workers who sit in place for long periods. It combines the modern technology of heat and vibrations with traditional acupressure points. The product mimics Shiatsu practitioner finger pulses through twistable vibration silicone points and adjustable heat mesh along the spine to soften muscles and provide solace and relief. Made from pineapple leather and repurposable TPE, Acuipt balances sustainability and durability whilst also being portable from your car to the work desk. Acuipt is made to adjust to all torso lengths and areas of the back, which then directly converts biofeedback to the app.
