There’s not much love for the chair that you wear
Remember when they told us that we should stand up to work? That was all very well if you were a traffic warden or a juggler – the traditional gamut of standing professions – but not so great if you worked in an office or perhaps couldn’t stand. Somebody obviously realised that was a rubbish idea and decided to invent a compromise …the wearable chair.

Looks like the start of an episode of Casualty focusing on a terrible packed-Tube skewering incident. We’re sure some people would be in the market for one of these, but we can certainly tell you who isn’t – and it’s these baffled tweeters.

I’m designing a chair. It’s part of your pants. You sit down, you’re supported. https://t.co/xdx1pfnmjz
