An Unusual Gaming Chair from Japan

Called, of course, "Buddy the Game Chair"

By Rain Noe - August 12, 2021

in Furniture Design

From Japan, a country where sitting and/or kneeling on the floor is normal, comes this gaming chair with an unusual form (and name).

"Buddy the Game Chair can be used in a wide variety of poses and positions, and will help you maintain a healthier back posture while you play games (or watch TV or read) for lengthy periods of time," writes the manufacturer.

Looking at some of the usage shots, I'm not convinced about the ergonomic benefits. Nevertheless, "The gaming chair has proven such a viral hit in Japan," the manufacturer claims, "that it received thousands of advance orders."

The chair retails for $104.
