Jojiko Chair, meaning “Horseman’s Seat” in Lithuanian, embodies a modern saddle. It seamlessly aligns the rhythm of the body’s motion with a focused mind, as one navigates the digital prairies of a computer screen.

The design approaches ergonomics with elegance and simplicity, challenging the notion of overly supportive seating prevalent in conventional ergonomic design. By accommodating the instinctive urge to move, Jojiko reimagines sitting as an active and engaging experience, rather than a rigid and passive one.

Jojiko is flat-pack-shipped and requires assembly with 6 bolts. Powder-coated steel tube legs come in two colours – black and light gray. The legs attach to the underside of the seat which has a thin yet strong construction knot inside. Heavy-duty, cast rubber feet-pads fixed on the legs enable smooth rocking movement while protecting the floor. Upholstery options include 8 colors of two durable fabrics with good abrasion resistance.

The seat is injection-molded out of polyurethane foam into an ergonomic shape that comfortably supports two sitting positions – saddle and bench. To promote better blood circulation, a firm seat foam was chosen. This concentrates body weight on the sitting bones, reducing strain and overall pressure on the buttocks.

The construction of the Jojiko chair has successfully passed a durability test of 100,000 rocking cycles at a furniture testing lab, with a load of up to 110 kg. The chair has been certified to meet the rigorous EN 16139:2013 safety standards, ensuring it is sturdy and reliable enough for high-traffic public areas like schools, universities, and libraries. Special packaging was created for this chair to avoid the use of packing fillers – it comes only in cardboard and two recyclable plastic bags.

The chair challenges the conventional understanding that ergonomic seating is synonymous with stability and immobility. Recognizing that people are never static—they squirm, fidget, and move—the chair seeks to facilitate a poetic and primal dialogue between the body and mind.

Jojiko design is backed by research. Evidence suggests that introduction of micro-movements into sitting facilitates both physical and mental well-being. Rocking and swaying motions train core muscles, promote better posture and balance, and enhance circulation.

Fidgeting is commonly deemed as inappropriate and thus encouraged to be suppressed, in fact it helps reduce stress and maintain focus. Jojiko celebrates instinctive movement and welcomes the fidgety nature of the human body.

With shrinking apartment and office spaces, and the rise of hybrid work models, creating comfortable yet space-saving work environments is more important than ever. Jojiko addresses this modern challenge by proving that ergonomic chairs don’t have to be bulky to be effective. The chair is designed to be a discrete and elegant piece of furniture that integrates seamlessly into various interiors.

Manufactured in the EU, primarily in Lithuania.
