Correct posture while sitting in the office can make or break an employee's morale not to mention their back. Getting the right chair goes a long way in maintaining the correct posture and you can't go wrong with this new chair aptly called Leopard. This chair is designed by Oki Electric Industry Co Ltd, which is designed after the Robot Leg technology based on the muscle and bone structures of the area from thighs to the hip of a human body to realize the capability to jump and land as natural as human legs. Every time a person sitting in the chair scoots his or her body forward, the unpowered Leopard will raise the seat up to help the person stand up. When someone sits down, the seat will sink approximately 25° and make the person feel as if the seat is wrapped around from the back.

The Leopard, which currently is suitable only for people weighing between 55 and 60kg, is scheduled for commercialization in 2009, no price announced yet.
